copyright is killing our fun
dude is pissed at YouTube because of its treatment of copyrighted videos. wants to take them out! by reporting copyrighted content: he has some ominous last words: "We will see how well the service does without the Daily Show and South Park entire episodes that are its real bread and butter."
the whole reason this is worth a read, though, is this:
I believe that such cases occupy far more of a gray area, in which the sharing of other people’s content, in small amounts for no profit, constitutes promotion of the content, and should be considered permissable until such time as the copyright holder objects, at which point it should be immediately removed with complete understanding that both parties acted in good faith.
now if only that could be written in to law. (haha, "good faith." but for real.)
