I'm sure that every person on planet Earth knows that Youtube has some of the worst people commenting on their website. Well, thankfully they have a new system (similar to Digg's) where you can give the comments thumbs up or thumbs down. If a comment get's a certain amount of thumbs down, then that comment won't be shown unless you want it to.
Way to go Youtube!

Youtube gets 10 times worse - ADS
Yes, that's right, go over to Youtube, and chances are you'll be smitten by an ad... This is probably the result of Google having to pay over 1 billion bucks for the site, which will take a looong time to get back, obviously.

Youtube video of the day - Eddie and the Hagfish
The Hagfish is quite an interesting creature who goes through the insides of it's dinner, which often time might be alive. They apparently will go through the mouth, anus, or any other entry, and will then eat their insides. Pretty interesting!

Bree from LonelyGirl15 dies...
I've never seen LonelyGirl15, though I know that it's considered one of the best shows on the internet. She's been featured on the cover of Wired, and has been covered almost everywhere. Well, on the LonelyGirl15's season finale, Bree dies. Well, she apparently died, I just went over to check it out and the only thing they showed was some guy in a black suit picking up a seemingly dead Bree.
Well, sorry for those who care... 'Cause I don't....

Mother sues NBC-Universal for removing her... 29 second YouTube video
Alright, here's the beef -
A mother and EFF company are sueing NBC-Universal for removing her 29 second video on Youtube which showed her toddler dancing to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy". The company took it down stating that it was copyright infragment despite the fact that the video was really just about the kid and not the music, which happend to be playing in the background.
I'm not taking any sides here, mainly because I think the mom shouldn't sue Universal and I don't think Universal should take the video off of YouTube!
Here's EFF's Press release:
"Stephanie Lenz's 29-second recording shows her son bouncing along to the Prince song "Let's Go Crazy," which is heard playing in the background... last month, YouTube informed Lenz that it had removed the video from its website after Universal claimed that the recording infringed a copyright controlled by the music company. Under federal copyright law, a mere allegation of copyright infringement can result in the removal of content from the Internet.
"I was really surprised and angry when I learned my video was removed," said Lenz. "Universal should not be using legal threats to try to prevent people from sharing home videos of their kids with family and friends."
"Universal's takedown notice doesn't even pass the laugh test," said EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry. "Copyright holders should be held accountable when they undermine non-infringing, fair uses like this video."
Last May, UMPG's parent company, Universal Music Group, sent a baseless copyright takedown demand to YouTube for a video podcast by political blogger Michelle Malkin. That video was quickly reposted after Malkin fought back.
"Copyright abuse can shut down online artists, political analysts, or -- as in this case -- ordinary families who simply want to share snippets of their day-to-day lives," said EFF Staff Attorney Marcia Hofmann. "Universal must stop making groundless infringement claims that trample on fair use and free speech."
