YouTube Yanks Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure

RevWaldo writes "The International Olympic Committee filed a copyright infringement claim yesterday against YouTube for hosting video of a Free Tibet protest at the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan Thursday night. The video depicts demonstrators conducting a candlelight vigil and projecting a protest video onto the consulate building; the projection features recent footage of Tibetan monks being arrested and riffs on the Olympic logo of the five interlocking rings, turning them into handcuffs. YouTube dutifully yanked the video, but it can still be seen on Vimeo. (Be advised; there is some brief footage of bloody, injured monks.)"

"More like -1, idiot.

Or do you not know anything about Tibetan Buddhism and are just making this up out of your own misguided sense of religious hatred?"

Hey, it's not your fault that you know nothing about the history of Tibet and the actions of the ruling class of Lamas.

ShieldW0lf's description, though distasteful in its conclusion, is accurate.
