Interesting copyright curveball from You Tube
You may notice the link to the Woomba wmv is now n/g. newzealandcreative circle received a notice today saying it had been removed for " copyright infringement". Fair enough. We are hot on IP too, as should be all of you. At the end of the day your ideas are all you've got...
Like many of you, we received this as a viral email. Any copyright attribution had been clipped off the end. This is pretty normal email behaviour so far ; how many mpegs or wmvs would you get in your inbox in a day?
In order to test You Tube for You Bloggers, we uploaded Woomba. About 250 blog readers/writers downloaded it. Sorry if it was so clunky and slow - but that may just be a symptom of a flawed technology.( Shrug).
Either the originating network/writers/producers/whomever noticed it ( it would have come up as "new" out there somewhere ) and felt the sharp stabbing pain of IP abuse, or someone complained about the content. Or the You Tube censors got the willies.
In any case, it's gone from You Tube. We wouldn't put money on Lesbifriends surviving the weekend either as the You Tube site warns against posting material of an obscene nature. Is Lesbifriends obscene? Depends which state you grew up in I guess. Maybe TVCAB could help with an opinion here. Not that that their opinion seems to make much difference in our day jobs.
So - that's why most mass consumer media upload/download sites like You Tube ultimately suck. And why we're still looking for the one that will work for us. And for you.
