Now on YouTube: David Lettermanâs Amazing Extortion Video

,----[ Quote ]
| At some point itâs possible that CBS itself will put up 
| an authorized clip on YouTube. But given that it hasnât 
| done so on its own âLate Showâ site already and that the 
| network tends to be reluctant to put its best stuff on 
| the Web under normal circumstances, I wouldnât hold my 
| breath.

Why Is CBS Trying To Take Down Letterman Revelation Video?

,----[ Quote ]
| Way back in 2006, the company announced that tests 
| showed that when it put clips on YouTube, it resulted in 
| more viewership, not less.

CBS Removes David Lettermanâs Mea Culpa From YouTube 

,----[ Quote ]
| The network did not post official copies of the segment 
| on CBS.com or on YouTube, proving that while media 
| companies are now generally eager to distribute their 
| material on the Web, there are still some TV moments 
| they would rather not spread widely.
| 
| In a remarkable 10-minute segment Thursday night, Mr. 
| Letterman told viewers of a Connecticut manâs suspected 
| $2 million extortion attempt, predicated on evidence of 
| Mr. Lettermanâs sexual relationships with female 
| employees. The suspect, Robert Joel Halderman of CBS 
| News, was arrested Thursday and released on bail Friday.

China Cracks Down On Pirated Teaching Materials?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's unclear how cheaper or even free teaching materials "harm"
| youth, but the speculation is that it's more about the government
| not liking the content than any real worry about "piracy."

Wolfram Alpha Does Not Understand Copyright

,----[ Quote ]
| Copyright, as Wolfram seems not to understand, is a bargain between creators
| and their public. As an incentive to create, the former are given a
| time-limited monopoly by governments. Note that it is not a reward for
| having created: it is an incentive to create again.
