Ah snap!!! That's a damn good burn!! Seriously though I'm not even joking about blocking Germany. If this ruling is upheld and YouTube has to start being responsible for the content it's users upload, then they NEED to get out of Germany. Heck, if I was a German low-life I'd be very tempted to put my own unsuccessful stuff on YouTube, then sue them. The fact that it's unsuccessful will be the proof that YouTube caused harm :-) There's nothing for Google to hide by pulling out of Germany. If I buy a gun and shoot someone, is it the gun manufacturer's fault? What if our laws said it WAS the fault of the gun manufacturer? What company would be stupid enough to sell guns in this country with such a law? And similarly, why should YouTube stay in Germany?
