I think he realizes that (although I wonder given that he tries to minimize it by saying that it was an 'old 90's cartoon').
I think this is really scary though - did he lose access to YouTube? Or all of gmail? That would really be scary. I'm guessing that he just lost access to YouTube, but if he lost access to his gmail or google docs, then that's an awfully severe penalty for violating someone's copyright. I'm sure the RIAA/MPAA/etc would be pleased... but is that just?
Maybe he just lost access to his YouTube channel?
This comment is a lot more funny now that I'm finally reading "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow:
Yeah - screw youtube and google. The onus is on their resources vs the individual.
As opposed to what? If the city creates a public park and you decide to commit a crime there, are you somehow no longer responsible?
That would normally raise a bunch of red flags.
