Ninjin gives a shoutout to the Japan Meteorological Agency for their on-the-ball response to the quake - it's like they've got a sixth sense for these things. Dalewyn points out that NHK's no-nonsense evacuation warnings are pretty standard, showing they've learned a lot from past emergencies. And krispyfi? They caught the intensity on NHK, with announcers practically telling people to both run and keep watching. Talk about a high-stress broadcast!
Dont give them too much credit, Notice they did not go after any of the big media companies that are just as abusive.
They picked a small time organization to target, they would not want to upset advertisers, hell I bet they got the blessing of the big media companies to even go after these guys..
If they really wanted side with creators they would push back against their RIAA and MPAA abusers, but of-course they will not
My understanding is if Google wins it would still set a legal precedent, which would help future lawsuits with this sort of thing. Of course not many criminals make a YouTube video on how they execute their own crimes... that would certainly help.
