I'd say it's *very* "related". If MS censors clips of commercial
material from their service, they'll be removing one of the primary
motivations people have for using it. Likewise with GooTube.
Like it or not, this is what the people want. Maybe the R.I. and M.P.
Ass'es of America ought to just calm down and stop being such a bunch
of greedy bastards, after all it's only very poor quality short clips,
it's not like it's HD standard verbatim copies. Frankly, these clips
only serve as free promotion for their commercial material, so they
should quit bitching about it, and be happy.
