YouTube Restores A Fair Use
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's what's different about this takedown: NOM's lawyer asked YouTube to
| restore the video immediately, rather than keeping it off-line for the
| standard 10-14 business day counternotice period. And YouTube, after doing
| its own fair use analysis, agreed and obliged.

AP: Others Who Use Our Work For Free Are Stealing... Now Who Wants To Provide
Content To Us For Free?
,----[ Quote ]
| The Associated Press has been going on quite the rampage over the past few
| months about all those evil online sites that are "stealing" its content,
| demanding that those who use its content absolutely must pay for it. We joked
| in response that the AP and other newspapers complaining about
| people "stealing" their coverage should actually be paying the people who
| make the news. After all, aren't they really creating the "content"? That was
| meant as a joke, but sometimes you have to wonder if people at the Associated
| Press even realize the double standard they've set for themselves.
