McCain Campaign Protests YouTube's DMCA Policy
Colz Grigor writes "It appears that CBS and Fox have submitted DMCA takedown notices to YouTube for videos from the McCain campaign. The campaign is now complaining about YouTube's DMCA policy making it too easy for copyright holders to remove fair-use videos. I hope they pursue this by addressing flaws in the DMCA."
Because he was for it before he was against it.
CBS and FOX won't do it to Obama because they *like* Obama. They don't mind if Obama uses their videos to help him win the election.
Yeah, FOX *loves* Obama.
What, are you stoned?
All the techniques ever used to make men moral have been themselves thoroughly immoral... (Nietzsche)
CBS and FOX won't do it to Obama because they *like* Obama.
You and I apparently don't watch the same FOX.
So you're saying your job and company are dependent on a highly out-dated business model? Perhaps you should spend some time and money investing in something that will last into the future better...
You tell him!
The new business model/employment model is becoming groveling for handouts from Government. That's my new plan. While all of you are working your asses off for declining pay, especially in IT because IT - all of IT especially programming - is a commodity to be gotten anywhere for pennies on the dollar; I'll be collecting handouts from the Government that your tax dollars are paying for.
I tried the loser route of learning new skills, going to school and getting more degrees, but you know what? No one wants to hire a middle aged career changer.
So while your job is being sent overseas or becoming irrelevant because a company can get a free version (there's only so many service jobs for F/OSS to go around and they go overseas too.),I want you to know, I'm here sitting on my ass, Trolling Slashdot, rubbing in your faces that _I_ don't have to work and I'm just having a blast! I'm living the future of America!
So, thank you for working so hard.
Gotta go! My champagne spritzers an omlettes are ready. I also have to go to get another bottle of Johnny Walker Blue after my Mercedes is done at the shop. I'm having mink seat cushions put in and then I'm going to fuck a PETA chick on them.
they'll just see to it that the DMCA doesn't apply to political ads.
McCain looks and acts like a 300 year old vampire. Obama is gonna give him an ass kicking Blade style!

Obama was 8* when the DMCA was passed. McCain voted for it. I know which one I'd rather see burned by it now.
* Some rounding is involved here.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
You are Karl Rove, and I claim my £5.

FOX is less socialist than NBC, CBS, ABC, et cetera, but they are still socialist.
Best. Joke. Ever.
The reason we hear about the DMCA here on Slashdot is because it has an effect on the typical Slashdot reader. A group who isn't very representative of the population. You think it's based on principle? Hah. Simple rationalization.
My friends, I've always been a maverick and an outsider. So when I voted for the DMCA, I knew that I was sticking it to the man. Because, as a Senator, I am 'The Man'. It was the most logical way for me to stick it to myself.
Out of modpoints but really liked a post? 1BDkF6TtmmeZ3yqXbz9yhdYVqRYnwFoXDj
If this was a 30 second video of a baby dancing to a Prince song, McCain wouldn't think that YouTube was doing anything untoward by obeying a take down video. The fact that this is a political message doesn't mean that YouTube pretty much has to comply with a DMCA notice if it actually looks valid, right?
This seems more like it's whining over the fact that it's his video which is being taken down. Maybe he should be pissed at CBS and Fox for ordering the takedown of his stuff and sue them.
This sounds like selective outrage to me. If Di$ney was issuing notices over Steam Boat Willie, McCain would think they're just protecting their interests and that's OK.
Cheers

Socialised healthcare? MADNESS, and it'll never work anyways. Name at least one first world country that has public health care!
Oh, wait... All of them, sans the US.
I think it's similar to automagically, except instead of a spell it uses a robot.

Don't worry, "political party" will be carefully defined so it only applies to Democrats and Republicans.

>>>What form of government is the collusion of large business and government, with nationalist and religious sentiments?
Or "Democrat" for ease of pronunciation. Democrats, just like Republicans, get billions in corporate donations every year. You think they are not colluding? You think NBC, ABC, and other television corporations are not just drooling to see Obama win this year?
They know he's going to be giving them more money. $500 per new job created in fact. Plus another bailout.
The government is not your daddy. Its purpose is not to raid middle-class neighbors' wallets and give it to you.
Wow it really sucks when the rules that you agree to come back to bite you in the butt..
next up I hope every senator and congressmen have to use the normal (what most people have) health insurance. Then maybe they will start to look at the health insurance companies and fix that.
and no I do not be live in socializing medical treatment, but something should be done with the health insurance companies.
love the taste, hate the texture
Meanwhile, HBO and Comedy central with their far left leaning show hosts are still readily available to my liberal european eyes (and they are funnier too)
