gone missing

after the $1.65 billion sale of youtube to google, it seems copyright people in the sunny valley have stepped up their game...makes sense, as all those legal issues will likely be scrutinized and monitored from this point on. if you ever read this blog, you'd know what i'm talking about: the youtube videos i used of fox soccer channel's fox sports world report are nowhere to be found, my trusty youtube member named 'splaytpus' has had his/her account suspended, and i haven't been able to find a back-up, which i don't think exists...

probably something to do with foxcorp. + rup murdoch retaliating because they couldn't take over the world by owning the mega's of the social networking revolution*: youtube and myspace.

*also known as the world's largest possible focus group

so, my advice to you all, if you enjoyed watching 'the award-winning' world report illegally on the net, best get yourself a cable package that includes fox soccer channel, and help murdoch inch closer in conquering the footie market. at least you'd be supporting jeremy st. louis, mitch peacock (still the most laughable 'stage' news reporter names i have come across to date) and the rest of the world report production team up there in canada by giving them some much needed exposure.

unfortunate, that, fox likes to hold onto these passing things when MIT will put all of the educational materials from it's undergraduate- and graduate-level courses online, free and openly available to anyone, anywhere, by the year 2007. now that's a copyright mess for the already underpaid academics and their peers (unless you are daniel goleman).

sorry no soccer updates, like henry's thriling performance or west ham's continued plummit. read about it yourself.
