      EFF sues Viacom over YouTube takedown of Colbert parody

      Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing

      Oh Viacom, you should read those DMCA lists of clips before you order them taken down: The video, called "Stop the Falsiness," was created by MoveOn and Brave New Films as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on Colbert's portrayal of the right-wing media and parodying MoveOn's own reputation for earnest political activism.

      Cognitive Daily: Stephen Colbert was right

      Posted by Jeff from Science Blogs

      The idea that "guts" literally serve some cognitive function isn't as far-fetched as it may seem. Some research has found that different visceral states (e.g. indigestion, heartburn) map on to specific brain areas associated with emotion. The relationship between the gastrointestinal system and the brain is particularly complex, but little research has explored whether there is a direct link between our physical "guts" and our emotional responses.

      No joke: Oshawa celebrates Stephen Colbert Day

      Posted by Jeff from CBC

      Three thousand fans packed a hockey arena in Oshawa, Ont., on Tuesday night to celebrate Stephen Colbert Day, an unusual new holiday that fetes the popular American comic. The event came about when the city's mayor lost a hockey bet with Colbert, who stars as a buffoonish right-wing pundit on the popular late-night television show The Colbert Report.

    YouTube Takes Down Comedy Central Clips Based on DMCA Claims

    Ironic considering Matt Sone and Trey Parker are such civil Libertarians. Then again they had no control over whether CC showed the image of mohammed on Cartoon wars.

    This is what happens when greedy corporate paper pushers have control over creatives.

    Comedy Central. There’s a laugh. NLOL. Here’s a group that says ‘Ok’ to endless showings of the exact same movies (Orange County, Blue Collar Tour, Office Space, Saving Silverman, etc.) then has the audacity to pull a stunt like this youtube business. You should have enough material to steal first, then shoot the ‘sue you’ gun. In my eyes this is like the BBC trying to sue Bill Gates for using too much electricity.

    Viacom may not miss YouTube as much as some people think.


    The company recently began offering so-called embed code that allows fans of popular programs such as the South Park to post clips to their MySpace.com pages or blogs. That embed code duplicates one of the more popular features of YouTube: the ability to easily post videos on other Web sites and blogs.

    You’ll see This video has been removed due to terms of use violation..

    Some clips may qualify as short enough to be fair use or be socially redeeming to be arguably fair use.
