Fox Subpoenas YouTube Over Content
popo writes "FOX has subpoenaed YouTube for the identity of a user who posted entire episodes of '24' and 'The Simpson's'. It is not yet known whether YouTube has complied with the request. The '24' episodes in question actually appeared on YouTube prior to their primetime January 14 premiere on the Fox broadcast network, which spread four hourlong episodes of the hit drama over two consecutive nights. Fox became aware the episodes were on YouTube on January 8, according to the subpoena."
....when they have Jack Bauer? I mean, Chuck Norris prays to the guy before bed.

Yeah, they're looking for him so he can star in an upcoming show on CourtTV.

Kiefer Sutherland learned how to use the internet, and took the "post your own videos!" thing a bit overboard.
Great Intellect...
Lionel Hutz will crush their subpoenas like a paper cup.
That's beside the point, though. Once Jack finds out that there is some person somewhere acting unlawfully against him, all civil laws and the Geneva Conventions will be ignored in his quest to find them. With in the first hour of Bauer's angerment, he will see the news and say "damn it!" then proceed to use his ties with Rupert Murdoch to gain access to Larry Page's dog, Foo-Foo. Using CTU personnel that are risking their own jobs to do it, he will find Larry's home address. 20 minutes into the episode, Bauer will have interrogated Foo-Foo and have the dog's head in a basket and be in route to Larry's home.
Meanwhile, the terorrist ECOTotal will be sitting on the couch munching on Dorritos laughing at a family on Geraldo.
At the half way point, Jack knocks on Larry's door as an innocuous deliveray boy carrying a sidearm and a basket dripping with blood. When Larry opens the door, Jack throws the poodle's head at him and pushes him inside with a gun to Larry's head. Interrogation and dialogue of the lowest calibre ensues. Larry Page is left unable to father children.
Meanwhile, ECOTotal is looking on eBay for their new SLR lens.
Jack interrogates Larry to a bloody pulp and finds out that ECOTotal is really a 16 year old high school student dabbling in photography and computer video processing.
The clock is ticking but by the end of the episode the Muslim terrorist ECOTotal is dead and the Chinese government is involved for some reason

Does anyone else see this over the top action as becoming laughable as Walker, Texas Ranger? I mean, the last tag line I heard on a Fox commercial was "All hail the power of Bauer!" What the hell?
My work here is dung.
I have a feeling that if found, the person responsible will first be fired, then sued out the whazoo and sent to debtor's prison.
I can understand firing him and suing him, but don't you think sending him to live in Detroit is a bit harsh?

Oh, shit.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Yep, it's turtles all the way down...
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
...there is always a mole. Fox will no doubt be surprised when the last four episodes reveal him to be Rupert Murdoch himself. But they'll only find that out through torturing this poor kid first.
