Youtube

Since youtube has been bought out by Google, it's gone under the knife for copyright infringement. Many a good homemade music video using copyrighted songs has been erased, and many a good account holder, been suspended for sharing their favorite artists and songs. Ok, I can deal that the studios don't want their music to be discovered by the world, since the radio stations can play only 8 to 10 songs any given day.

But now, I go on there to check out what's going on in the world, via that country's POV, not the USA's contrived media, and I get this crap (this video not available in your country) WTF? I'm aware that this has been happening for a couple of years, but I haven't run into it until last week.

I put this in here, thinking it might spark up some political crap. I think it's disturbing that the informational superhighway is being controlled by corps and bureaucrats who want only certain views, movies, stories, music to be viewed. I'm sure some will say it's to protect via copyright law, but how far does one go from copyright protection to down right fascism?

This guy, hilarious IMO, but he says what's on my mind.!
