FOX blocks Clinton video on YOUTUBE!

Jump to Comments

Hey guys, here is somethign interesting.

Remember the last post aobut Cyrus Nowrasteh?  Well, remember i mentioned an interview with Bill Clinton on FOXnews.  Well, i was looking for the video, (the interview was sunday), and today i finally found it on YOUTUBE …

… HOWEVER… FOX has blocked the Video! When you do a search for "Bill Clinton" + "FOX" you get a list of the videos of the interview By Chris Wallace.  BUT when you actually try to get a video you get a page saying:

This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Fox News Network, LLC because its content was used without permission

And you go down the list, it's the case with every single copy! So hmmm….i wonder what that means…..

Fortunately, for now, when you search for the video in Google Video, it is still accessible…and here it is, and it is FANTASTIC!

Part I: (it gets interesting after the 4th minute, i have to give him credit, the man knows how to carry himself properly, as much as we make fun of him)

Error
This video doesn’t exist

I would have to say if the video was made popular by the internet then network news needs to start thinking about ways to get abreast in technology and move more towards the internet as a way in providing there content. Some news sources have already done that (NBC-2 news in Fort Myers, FL streams most of there broadcasts online) and some have not.  The copyright laws and DRM will only hurt companies in the long run. If you don’t want your content to be reused or reposted then don’t publish and if you do publish it, sending out cease and desist letters is not the way to gain blogger loyalty. Bloggers are only trying to get the word out and at the same time helping you gain internet loyalty and increased viewership. I think Fox had realized this immediately after send out the letters. I can just imagine the impact and blogger fury if this Fox position wasn’t lifted. I would have to say that the blogger/internet community has chalked up another victory in the in the network news vs. internet news war. [...]
