YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox

An anonymous reader writes "Tech Crunch has an article about YouTube identifying and handing over a user's information after a request from Fox. 'Three weeks after receiving a subpoena from the U.S. District Court in Northern California, YouTube has reportedly identified a user accused by 20th Century Fox Television of uploading episodes of the show 24 a week prior to their running on television. That user, named ECOTtotal, is also alleged to have uploaded 12 episodes of The Simpsons, some quite old. Apparently Google and YouTube were willing and able to identify the owner of the username ECOTtotal, according to a report on InternetNews.com.'"

    Clue for you all: 127.0.0.1 != "home". Stop embarrassing yourselves. Try "There's no place like ~", for example.

    Actually, ~ != home either. ~ in my case is /home/FunkyELF/....I think what you're looking for is...

    There's no place like ~/..
