The engineers' strike over wages comes on the same day Qantas announced revenue had jumped 54 per cent from 2021 but a full-year net loss of $860 million, and in the same week management attempted to win back customers disgruntled over delays and lost baggage with $50 travel vouchers. The one-minute strike is to protest Qantas's inaction over negotiations for a 12 per cent pay rise over four years, equivalent to 3 per cent a year, and is designed to send a message to management: patience has run out. He no longer believes that loyalty flows in both directions. I saw it as a job for life and it felt as if the loyalty went both ways.”īut as Qantas engineers begin industrial action on Thursday - with a strategy to delay the start of each shift by one minute - Mark plans to join them. We've been very clear about it."Īfter the legal action was first started, YouTube launched an anti-piracy tool that checks uploaded videos against the original content in an effort to flag piracy.“From day one I’ve thought 'well, this is bloody awesome' and I've poured blood, sweat and tears into my job” he says, describing long nights working in the cold and rain to make sure an aircraft takes off before curfew. Google's vice president of content partnerships David Eun has said: "We're going all the way to the Supreme Court. He added: "We cannot tolerate any form of piracy by anyone, including YouTube.they cannot get away with stealing our products."įor its part, Google said the only way the legal action would be resolved was in court. Earlier this month Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone told Dow Jones: "When we filed this lawsuit, we not only served our own interests, we served the interests of everyone who owns copyrights they want protected." Viacom originally started legal action last year and filed an amended version last month. "The availability on the YouTube site of a vast library of the copyrighted works of plaintiffs and others is the cornerstone of defendants' business plan," Viacom said. Viacom, which is asking for damages for the unauthorised viewing of its programming, said its tally represented only a fraction of the content on YouTube that violates its copyrights.
The company says the infringement also included the documentary An Inconvenient Truth which had been viewed "an astounding 1.5 billion times". Interview with one of the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley, first broadcast on It said it had identified more than 150,000 such abuses which included clips from shows such as South Park, SpongeBob SquarePants and MTV Unplugged. In a rewritten lawsuit filed last month, Viacom claimed YouTube consistently allowed unauthorised copies of popular television programming and movies to be posted on its website and viewed tens of thousands of times.
Viacom disagreed that either firm had lived up to that standard and said that they had done "little or nothing" to stop infringement. In papers submitted to a Manhattan court, Google said it and YouTube "goes far beyond its legal obligations in assisting content owners to protect their works". The search giant's legal team also maintained that YouTube had been faithful to the requirements of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act and that they responded properly to claims of infringement. In court documents Google's lawyers say the action "threatens the way hundreds of millions of people legitimately exchange information" over the web. Viacom says it has identified 150,000 unauthorised clips on YouTube. Google's claim follows Viacom's move to sue the video sharing service for its inability to keep copyrighted material off its site. A one billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube threatens internet freedom, according to its owner Google.
