McCain Campaign Protests YouTube's DMCA Policy

Posted by kdawson on from the sauce-for-geese dept.

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."

    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?

    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!

    FOX is less socialist than NBC, CBS, ABC, et cetera, but they are still socialist.

    Best. Joke. Ever.

    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.
