Viacom vs. Irrlicht Community - we win!
Posted on:February 12 2007
On the Irrlicht Forum, Veegun lets us know that the Irrlicht tutorial video hosted at youtube.com which Viacom claimed to own the copyright on has been restored again. Looks like only a news entry on the frontpage of Slashdot, one of the biggest internet news pages and dozens of blogs and forums was necessary for this. Anyway, it's very nice the situation was solved like this. We won! Thanks to our great community. If you are interested, this was the disputed Irrlicht video, finally unlocked again. And as statistics are interesting, here's the impact of Slashdot-readers coming to our webpage (it's about half a day from the peak to the end of the image):

You hold complete ownership to the Irrlicht engine and even with that great liscense of yours, Viacom was going to get hurt! I took a law course once and I can't see one thing Viacom could use to even remotely defend themselves.
