Samsung SC-MX20: camcorder designed for YouTube

The Samsung SC-MX20 looks in the first part as if it will be a good little camcorder, and it is the YouTube mode that Samsung hope will help the sales of the device.

The SC-MX20 records video at 720×480, which is the native YouTube resolution. Ok so this is useful for the Internet generation, but is the price of the camcorder within reach for most of them.

Well a price tag of just $280 tells me that the Samsung SC-MX20 is more than cheap enough for the YouTube fans to own one of these camcorders. Ok guys, you better get to the store and start shooting those mad videos.

Viacom and the YouTube privacy problem

YouTube is an amazing site and one that has changed the way web users watch videos; people will now listen to music by playing different YouTube videos on their home computers and on the move via cell phones like the Apple iPhone.

Today we hear that a U.S. judge has ordered Google Inc to hand over YouTube user data to Viacom Inc, this has caused outcry from some web users because of privacy fears.

Viacom owns MTV Networks and Paramount and they are currently in the middle of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit against YouTube.

What would worry some YouTube users is the fact that the Southern District of New York Judge wants information on users IP addresses, what videos they watched, usernames of YouTube viewers and more for evidence.

The difficult part is being able to ensure personally identifiable information is secure and to comply with the court order, some blogs are claiming that this order will violate the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act.

Viacom has said in a statement that they have no plans on identifying individual users and just want to show video piracy patterns in the court case against YouTube.

YouTube users identities kept secret in Viacom case

There has been a lot of debate about the privacy of users data on many online sites and more recently users of YouTube have been worried about their personal data.

Google was ordered by a court to turn over log files that show how users browse YouTube; this was because Viacom International wants to use this information as evidence to show how their copyrights are being breached.

Today we have heard that Google will be able to conceal YouTube user identities when it has to hand the database to Viacom that shows viewing habits on YouTube.

Many users were in uproar over the request that they thought would lead to their personal details being revealed, they can now rest in peace knowing that Viacom will know what people viewed but not what IP address.

Viacom will still get to see unique values for each IP address so that they can see peoples viewing habits, but this will be replacing IP Addresses.

This current lawsuit was filed against Google and their YouTube subsidiary back in 2007, they claim that YouTube is illegally distributing Viacom’s copyright content.

If you’re a YouTube user, is this the result you wanted?
