The $8 Billion Dollar iPod

Screen Shot 2012-03-16 at 11.48.01 PM

This is an interesting video from TED. Rob Reid, a comic, started a new study on the Copyright laws in the entertainment industry and called it “©opyright Math(TM)”.

With the recent proposals of SOPA and PIPA to bring in regulations on the internet, major entertainment companies threw out numbers to Congress and the general public of why they were pushing such proposals for laws. If they would have won, they would have been granted the power to shut down any internet website without due process of trial or proof.

Reid took the numbers provided and brought them down to perspective of what was really real in a hilarious manor.
