1. Utter bullshit.

It's fair use, pure and simple. Some Bush fan got testy and had them pull it.

2. How do you know * did it? Maybe youtube did.

6. YouTube Sees User Rebellion

http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/03/technology/business2_browser0503

Recent changes in the website are turning longtime fans against the video service.

SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Hypergrowth comes with hyper-growing pains -- just ask YouTube. The online video-sharing site is facing a rebellion among the formerly faithful. Yesterday, blogger and longtime YouTuber Miel Vanopstal lost his cool in a post titled "Screw YouTube." Vanopstal complains that YouTube's recent upgrades have made the site significantly slower, and that new efforts to enforce copyright and delete otherwise questionable material strike him as arbitrary. He is particularly galled that a single alert notice from a "puritanically minded" fellow user can result in a video being deleted. "I've had it with these random rejections," he writes.

Vanopstal is hardly alone. A bitter Nathan Weinberg at InsideGoogle says that he was kicked off YouTube two months ago. Weinberg chronicles his dissatisfaction with the free (and reportedly money-losing) service, ultimately deciding that he has only one thing left to do: "Ruin YouTube" by systematically reporting all of the site's traffic-generating but copyright-violating videos. Microsoft's (Research) Don Dodge, who formerly worked at Napster (Research), adds a been there, done that post to the fray, noting sagely: "User-generated content is very difficult to manage and control."

9. So one disgruntled user can cause them a whole lot of trouble.

It'd be interesting to find out who really did pull the video, and the real reasons.

[Junkdrawer]

11. So this is a YouTube, not a C-SPAN issue....

Sounds like YouTube is covering their rapidly-growing-pre-IPO asses by pulling all content without a clear copyright claim. :shrug:

[dogday]

23. You can watch it here:

This is what they said:

I don't know what exactly was wrong the Colbert Clip, but Youtube.com pulled all the files associated with Colbert at that dinner. However they did not kill the Bush clip at the Dinner? hmmm, No worries we got the clips back up on vSocial.

[populistdriven]

13. lol

how do you know he didn't? :D

[reichstag911]

3. That's not Bush, that's...

...C-SPAN. They're hawking the DVD on their website for $24.95, I think. :tinfoilhat:

[gkhouston]

12. are they actually going to sell it?

Wow, I wonder if they usually sell copies of there shows. This one, they might actually make some money on.

[reichstag911]

14. See...

[reichstag911]

17. Hah! Beat ya!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[NYCGirl]

21. I had no idea we were in some kind of contest.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

22. well, it's not like you're going to win

any beauty contests if that's your picture in your sig line. ;-)

[NYCGirl]

25. LOL! No, I can assure you...

I'm NOT Al Gore in his Halloween costume.
;)

[gkhouston]

32. I'm so relieved

to know that isn't you.

And even more relieved to know that isn't Al before his first cup of coffee. ;-)

[reichstag911]

24. Uh...

...:crazy: :toast:

[NYCGirl]

4. Either C-Span or the White House Correspondents' Association owns the

rights to that.

[kitkat65]

7. Unless Colbert signed something that says he no longer has rights

to his speech then isn't the material his to do whatever he pleases with? I'm assuming the taping of the speech may belong to CSPAN or the WH, but not the actual speech.

[NYCGirl]

8. I would assume if he wanted to perform the speech somewhere else, he

could do it, but the performance at the WHCD does not belong to him.

[DearAbby]

5. Get your copies while you can

Private use only :hi:

I wonder if they will go after the people that taped it in the privacy of their own livingrooms...

[Nicole]

10. Thanks for the info

I'm saving a copy from crooksandliars right now.

[populistdriven]

16. I got the ultra high res torrent with the entire evening - get it here:

[Nicole]

30. Thanks again

I got it. :)

[phusion]

18. This was on C-span...isn't that public domain? n/t

[RoyGBiv]

28. No ...

C-Span is a creation of the National Cable Satellite Corporation, which retains copyright of *the broadcast* in whole or in part just like any network.

[progressoid]

29. nope...

© 2006, National Cable Satellite Corporation

C-SPAN is a private, non-profit company, created in 1979 by the cable television industry as a public service. Our mission is to provide public access to the political process. C-SPAN receives no government funding; operations are funded by fees paid by cable and satellite affiliates who carry C-SPAN programming.

[walldude]

19. Uh.. your thread title is a little misleading

to say the least. Whatever happened, this is YouTube's issue, this was a public event broadcast on public airwaves, as long as no one is charging to see the video it's perfectly legal. I imagine YouTube knows this.

[populistdriven]

20. d00d, I fixed it ! :)

[populistdriven]

26. KICK Get your copies while you can!!! - needs one more Recc

[populistdriven]

27. Update: The Stephen Colbert video is now hosted at Democracy Now!

You can't download a copy but you can watch the streaming video.
