Exploding TV (continued)
I don't watch much TV, largely because it doesn't really fit into my busy day.
But that means I miss a lot of good stuff.
Not anymore thanks to people like ToastyFun and others who record it, YouTube and other services who host it, and friends like Raj who tag it for me.
Here's what I am talking about. Sigur Ros played on Conan the other night. I missed it on TV but not on the Internet!

WHAT AM I BID FOR THIS VIDEO? In the world of the stock market, one of the first steps to figuring out what the market in a particular stock looks like is to look at the Bid-Ask Spread. Most of the time, the spread is fairly narrow. But every once in a... [Read More]

Hey Fred great video,
Just a matter of time before the happy go lucky times of share any video you can get your hands on is brought to a screeching hault by the media companies who have ownership over these properties. The writing is being etched on the wall as we see HBO already beginning to petition congress to prevent anyone from copying any HBO video.
The MPAA thought they could avoid it, but we are seeing a repeat of the napster file sharing network days...almost page for page.
I just wonder if sites like YouTube or Google will suffer the same fate as Napster and it's kin.

So is posting copyrighted material on your website fair use? All these new video services popping up may very well be experiencing a surge in growth but when you take away the massive amounts of copyrighted material from their website, a dropoff in viewership is likely, no... definitely going to occur. I like to call this the napsterization of video with services like youtube and the like offering full episodes of shows and even clips from the winter Olympics when it specifically says near the end of the Olympic broadcast that no clip can be recreated or shown without the explicit consent of NBC, and yet you'll find these videos online. Now that these networks are making money off of these shows, it's only a matter of time when the MPAA and other regulatory boards bring the hammer down on these video services. Youtube will be no more...

Sigur Ros is powerful. A good example of how less is sometimes so much more.
Again, also check out Regina Spektor (www.reginaspektor.com) Her song "Samson" is amazing and pretty poignant on V-day.

It must be an interesting time to be a lawyer at, say, NBC.....

I've seen em live a couple times, love em but personally rather listen to them at home.
But I'm finding their opening act perhaps even more moving, AMINA. 64MB file of them on icelandic tv:

(from my site, for a short time or until someone convinces us adversely about the fair use mentioned above)

Just the beginning. Hey Fred, I decided I'd revisit this topic. As this will be the first case of many as media companies demand file sharing sites remove copyrighted work.
