Bill Gates admitted to watch pirated content on youtube. As you might know, the MPAA and RIAA are targeting youtube at the moment for its pirated content.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Bill Gates said:
WSJ: You watch physics lectures and Harlem Globetrotters [on YouTube]?
Gates: This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.
WSJ: But those were stolen, correct?
Gates: Stolen’s a strong word. It’s copyrighted content that the owner wasn’t paid for. So yes.
But hey, Bill could buy the MPAA if he wanted to. In the meanwhile youtube is planning to offer “all music videos ever created”.. for free

C’mon Bill! Don’t lose out on Microsoft now!
Ya Bill, you could just buy the videos.
But also if he got sued if prolly wouldn’t make a dent in his pocket.
So don’t worry Bill I’m behind you all the way!!!!
my hero
Doesn’t everybody use youtube now… So I really can’t see why they would target them… Love the pic by the way..
Whether tragic events touch your family personally or are brought into your home via newspapers and television, you can help children cope with the anxiety that violence, death, and disasters can cause.
Listening and talking to children about their concerns can reassure them that they will be safe. Start by encouraging them to discuss how they have been affected by what is happening around them. Even young children may have specific questions about tragedies. Children react to stress at their own developmental level.
The Caring for Every Child’s Mental Health Campaign offers these pointers for parents and other caregivers:
* Encourage children to ask questions. Listen to what they say. Provide comfort and assurance that address their specific fears. It’s okay to admit you can’t answer all of their questions.
* Talk on their level. Communicate with your children in a way they can understand. Don’t get too technical or complicated.
* Find out what frightens them. Encourage your children to talk about fears they may have. They may worry that someone will harm them at school or that someone will try to hurt you.
* Focus on the positive. Reinforce the fact that most people are kind and caring. Remind your child of the heroic actions taken by ordinary people to help victims of tragedy.
* Pay attention. Your children’s play and drawings may give you a glimpse into their questions or concerns. Ask them to tell you what is going on in the game or the picture. It’s an opportunity to clarify any misconceptions, answer questions, and give reassurance.
* Develop a plan. Establish a family emergency plan for the future, such as a meeting place where everyone should gather if something unexpected happens in your family or neighborhood. It can help you and your children feel safer.
If you are concerned about your child’s reaction to stress or trauma, call your physician or a community mental health center.
What a great cause, John Atkins, but what has it got to do with Bill Gates?
Youtube to offer all music videos ever made for free? GREAT! Music videos are marketing tools to sell the product, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. Yes, there have been some great ones made, yes there have been some rubbish ones made for good tunes, but NO, it’s not the point when music is by definition something for your ears alone!
cool pic imo
