Sadists at TV9?

An Interview Question at TV9..

"A Girl attending her mother's funeral.. there she has seen a handsome guy whom she doesn't know at all.. though she knows that it is not the right occasion, she could not resist herself looking at him.. may be it is her "Love at First Sight".. somehow she wanted to talk to him.. but she couldn't.. but after the ceremony she looked everywhere at the ceremony but she could not see him there.. she was very much disappointed..

After very few days from the day of her mother's funeral, she killed her elder sister..

WHAT COULD BE THE MOTIVE FOR HER TO KILL THE ELDER SISTER??"

idandee vaalla Question..

millions', who can't get a job at TV9, answers are like this..

"may be her elder sister had an affair with that guy"

"may be her elder sister is the reason for her mother's death"

meeroo ilaanti answer cheppaara?  ANSWER is wrong.. but don't get disappointed.. You Are Still Mentally Healthy like me and everybody else..

 

Here is the answer that who got a job at TV9 said... :)

"she killed her elder sister in a hope that she can see that handsome guy one more time at her sister's funeral ( as he attended her mother's)"

 

According to science ilaanti alochanlu & answers only psychopaths maatrame ivvagalaru.. normal human beings can not..

 

i had a doubt for many years.. Is there any special selection format for recruiting the staff TV9??

somebody please let me know if yes.. according to me i feel they look for the level of sadism that an aspirant has..

as well as they look for rudeness, manners less,  unpolished, ilaantivannee konni basic characteristics anukuntaa vallu vedikedi..

YouTube law fight 'threatens net'

courtesy : BBC.. ** news as it is in BBC**

Pls.. Viacom & BBC.. Don't sue me.. :)

YouTube is owned by search giant Google

A one billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube threatens internet freedom, according to its owner Google.

Google's claim follows Viacom's move to sue the video sharing service for its inability to keep copyrighted material off its site.

Viacom says it has identified 150,000 unauthorised clips on YouTube.

In court documents Google's lawyers say the action "threatens the way hundreds of millions of people legitimately exchange information" over the web.

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 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".

Viacom disagreed that either firm had lived up to that standard and said that they had done "little or nothing" to stop infringement.

Abuse

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.

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.

The company says the infringement also included the documentary An Inconvenient Truth which had been viewed "an astounding 1.5 billion times".

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 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 originally started legal action last year and filed an amended version last month. 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."

He added: "We cannot tolerate any form of piracy by anyone, including YouTube...they cannot get away with stealing our products."

For its part, Google said the only way the legal action would be resolved was in court.

Google's vice president of content partnerships David Eun has said: "We're going all the way to the Supreme Court. We've been very clear about it."

After 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.
