      It may mean that nobody gets mega-wealthy any more. What it does mean for sure is that the giant dinosaurs that currently dominate the distribution channels had better learn to adapt or die. There are a lot of fast-moving little mammals in the underbrush eating the dinosaurs’ eggs.

    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.

    Definitely worth a read: Lessig is one of the more interesting legal minds out there.

    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.

    Fair Use Bill Introduced In Congress

    Ars Technica is skeptical. They provide background on prior versions of this bill and how those bills imploded when they hit the wall that is the recording industry.

    Even the press release from Broucher’s office says:

    “In an effort to address the concerns expressed by content owners, the FAIR USE Act does not contain provisions which would have established a fair use defense to the act of circumvention.

    The legislation instead contains specific exemptions to section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which do not pose a comparable potential threat to their business models.”

    Not holding my breath.
