Can Tech directly solve it though ? My instinct tell me that perhaps there are some server hosting companies that tolerate such materials who need to be blocked.
You will need to somehow flag users and kick sites out of the index. What will happen as well I assume is that there will be niche forums and as they are tricky it will go on deep.
Any ideas what can be done ?

What I like is that its an honest hands on approach from a founders view with the thus resulting experiences. I work as a VC and I could not explain these observations in the same way and give the feeling of being with you in a bar in a founder to founder relationship.
I think this list was curated partly by celebrity status. I checked only the top 5 of that list and the follower number varies , so its not in order of hightest to lowest.
It cannot be fund size as someone like Dave McClure or Jeff Clavier's funds have lower fund size then say Khosala Ventures.
I agree, there should be more info. What I like about it is that so many people have good ideas and with guidance could make it. I learned it myself and you get skimmed countless times due to lack of knowledge and experience, so I believe this great guidance to prevent potential failure from elementary cheating moves or either amateur mistakes. So this one reason in hindsight Id appreciate a service like that.
Do you think this model can work and also in other territories ? Basically people with just ideas can be taken on and then formed to be companies. This is even earlier then Y Combinator. I wonder if this can be done in other countries and what your thoughts are .
Do you guys have any favourite spin offs of Gagnam Style ?
The structure is always the same like taking some memorable
moments of the video eg at the start the plane or the guy shaking his pelvis in the lift , then take some other stereotype or celebrities in it. So I actually wonder how many more views came from the parodies.
Last similar wave I remember was the "shit says " series maybe 6 months ago that had a similar formula.
Man, this is really livening up my weekend... And thanks for showing us the lighter side of Noam Chomsky. My respect for the man went up several notches.
The very best remix of Gangnam Style was done Steve Streza. It seems
the video was yanked from youtube due to copyright issues, but the
audio files are still available on his site.
Listening to this, and I'm rather disappointed I'm missing out on the accompanying video.
I wonder if Youtube will reverse course on this, given that Psy has made it clear he has no interest in enforcing that copyright (a decision which is clearly in his best interest, too).
I didn't feel it was as bad as some of the comments here seem to indicate. I would give them a lot of marks simply for the effort to begin with and considering that it is simply a labour of love (as many of these videos here seem to be), it is very well done indeed.
It makes you realize how bad the synthesized instruments they used for it were... also not arranged for an orchestra. You can't just simply take the original note for note and play it on different instruments.
This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas, and why the current copyright laws get it so wrong. Allowing this to happen means it is only going to benefit the original creator, as there will be a whole culture formed around it, which will make it ever more popular.
This is also why George Lucas got it so wrong in the past, when he sued his fans for expanding on his ideas. If anything the remixing Star Wars culture formed despite him, not because of him.
This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas Agree 100% with that sentiment.
Indeed, that's one more reason to like this guy, PSY
"According to The Guardian, PSY has waived his copyright to the music video. Although this has not been officially confirmed, Arwa Mahdawi of The Guardian reported it was likely that PSY had simply refrained from taking legal action against parodies of his video. "Gangnam Style" is therefore a video that is "born to spawn"" [1]
There is no legal claim against parodies. The copyright allowance was in allowing people to distribute the original video and/or audio (for example, reusing the audio track in a new YouTube submission)
Sick and tired of all the hype around Berlin. Startup Genome confirms with figures that there is more substance in areas like Tel Aviv which is not as heavily covered. What are your views , especially people from the other top 20 cities . cheers
Well, Berlin doesn't seem to have a high rate of loud sounding startups world wide. And the ones who do sound are not much in comparison to the loud ones coming from SV. Then again the startup ecosystem is so dynamic in Berlin, and so much buzz is being generated, that I'm pretty sure that soon enough great things will start to spring.
How would you entice users to use this tool. Is it whitelabel for the company to then post on social media sites to be answered by job applicants.
I think an interesting aspect is something of a competition aspect as well . Gamnes or competion with others to show how you act under pressure. Psychological tests.
How do you incentivise users to do it ? when i email apple for example for a job I feel i m directly with apple, in this case there is a middle man? Whitelabelling could be a solution to prevent anyonomity.
I would only offer this type of offer maybe on jobs where they want a filter , and if you get X amount of points, you can then only submit your cv. I would see this tool as a bouncer in a club, not let everyone in so there is less work and then as the bouncer ( your tool ) to filter them out.
Think of pareto 80 20 . The majority of time wasters and dum b asses are in the 100 % group, you can easily knock out many at that stage through automisation, the other stuff is to resource rich in demand, so your wasting time. So this tool I d say is best a door man to reach the telephone interview stage.
eg Job Offer --) Do tests , if you get 80 % you get submission form --) submit application
thats where the money is and most help. I would forget the other stages. make sure you reduce it as much as possible for even the CV screening stage. You ll save so many man hours that even a 100 $ a month fee is worth nada
Yes , your right about the public and private aspect. I guess then from my original statement only the users from Facebook would initially compliment Instagram for more content.
What I like about Instagram is that many people put effort to put up creative photos. From a business view that could actually be in some sense used commercially cause they are nice and high quality. Something people may want on their T Shirt or select 12 images and make a calendar. Imagine like Getty Images or maybe a printing service like Vista Print.
