    Hi

    I have few questions

    Please answer how this looks now and how this will be after ACTA

    1. Use of photos - Can I use someone Photo if i write source and author? or i have to buy from gettyimages etc
    2. Videos on youtube now and after ACTA - How the YouTube will work - Can I use now youtube movies on my blog if movie is added by owner for example nba top 10 actions? What will be after ACTA?
    3. Can i use articles for example from Yahoo if i put source? If not why they give us rss feeds?
    4. Using domain names like NBAnews, MLBbaseball etc - Can I use them for blogs because they contain the name reserved?

    What you guys think about this?

    Like SOPA and PIPA; ACTA has not yet been enacted into law. ACTA is a multi-national treaty to limit counterfeiting on the internet. I suspect it will meet the same fate as SOPA and PIPA.

    As far as I know neither ACTA nor SOPA and PIPA have anything to youtube. All of them are against file-sharing, because it violates copyright strongly.

    Video sharing on youtube is also "file-sharing"
