ASCAP attacking blogs for embedding YouTube videos

real cool, ASCAP. real. cool.

read about it on gawker.com

this doesn’t make sense to me, because, from what i understand, if the owner of a music video doesn’t want it on youtube, they can get it pulled. maybe i’m confused, but regardless… is it really the blogs that ASCAP should be going after? seems to me that their whole battle should be waged against YouTube. if YouTube didn’t host the videos, bloggers couldn’t share them. right? and, ultimately, WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER?! it’s even less serious than the AWFUL crime of downloading a song from a file sharing site or whatever. get bent.

A Youtube Channel About Fox News Bias

Ok, so this is my first post here on “The Noising Machine”.  It’s short and about a youtube channel. A pretty cool channel. The channel’s name is LiberalViewer.  The guy on the channel is a stay at home dad and  former lawyer, who volunteers for the ACLU in California.  About once a month now, he disects Fox News and it’s bias and does a pretty good job at it. In the past he was shutdown by Viacom because he used clips from Comedy Central. However he was able to get his channel back on youtube, and continue to use Comedy Central and other clips because he argued with the “fair use copyright protection” law or something like that.  He even has a video all about that situation too.  Anyway check out his channel, it’s:  http://www.youtube.com/LiberalViewer .  Oh and by the way for those who don’t know me this is Tony Meier, aka Ryan’s brother.
