[Google] video (16)

Google Video now allows downloading, except you can only play them on the Google Video Player and you have to be online to play copy-protected videos you purchase and download.

The real face of Google Video, or Steam for TV. Screw that.

Yeah, I hate Google Video, and YouTube and the like. You want to show me a video? Let me download it and keep it and play it when, where, and in what application I want, kthx.

So now Google is going to start doing more and more evil things like this, and people are going to go along with it because everything Google is automatically kewl? God, I hope not. Google's quality in some services can't be allowed to outweigh shittiness in others.

People, please stop using Google Video! Let it die!

Albright, I beg to differ. I don't give a shit about saving the sort of stuff on Google Video to my hard drive. I'm not making an archive of every interesting video of the Internet, especially videos I don't have the copyright to. However, I do want to play it on all computers (Flash player? Excellent!), and I do want a permalink (Permanent hosting? Great!).

As for the DRM service... only time will tell whether it's a good idea.

Agreed, Google Video is very useful for stupid little web clips. It's obviously not good for longer or more serious things, but there are already other solutions for that. Google Video fills a niche, and it's convenient.

Plus, you can download the clips, although it takes a little bit of hackery.

>>1-2 are obviously the same person, but I still agree. DRM schemes are lame. Yet more evidence of how little Google's "don't be evil" nonsense actually means.

Not anymore. They added a Download button.

Um, no. If I posted >>1, I would have put my rant in >>1, not made a new reply for it. It doesn't even make sense for us to be the same person. Come on, now, take off the tinhat.

>>5 is a SOCK PUPPET FALLACY.

OK, fine, >>1 and >>2 aren't the same person, but that wasn't my point anyway.

>>1-9 are the same person, trying to make it look like people actually care about this thread

>>9 didn't have anything to say besides "I hate Google it sucks".

12 Name: CyB3r h4xX0r g33k 2006-01-14 01:41 ID:Heaven

>>9 doesn't mention Google. >>11 should stop fagging up this thread with self-references.

13 Name: CyB3r h4xX0r g33k 2006-01-14 05:53 ID:YCnIb6h4

>>9 = >>5.
