Unhappy Birthday Universal - UMG's ruining of enterprises, lives

As if all the censorship I already highlighted wasn't enough, UMG sued Veoh, a YouTube-like video hosting service, and ended up destroying it. The entire appalling tale is available at Minglewing, the new website of Veoh's founder. Basically, UMG ignored copyright law and hurled a ridiculous lawsuit against the company without sending takedown notices first. To make absolutely sure the site died, it also sued investors in the site. It ended up losing the case, but appealed it. It eventually lost the appeal, but at that stage, the company had already been destroyed. This isn't even mentioning the effect on the founder's personal life, which you can read at the post linked above.
