The Copyright Nazis

The Copyright Nazis 01/29/2009

This morning I discovered that two of the ten original episodes of Talking Heads still remaining on youtube were flagged as copyright violations.

The two episodes were Horbawrong and F*CK (for the songs "Dirty Love" by Frank Zappa and "She Hates Me" by Richard Cheese, respectively. This is was the exact reason that I pulled all of the episodes in the first place ... and I figured I'd be able to fly under the radar for a little while with those remaining ten that I had up.

Sure enough, though, the copyright nazis have finally struck and the first two victims are Horbawrong and F*CK. I've deleted the episodes from youtube ... but they most certainly are still available in the playlist on the right (that pretty little Talking Heads graphic).

The remaining episodes will likely get pulled from youtube ... eventually I get original music in there and put them all back where they belong.

Eventually.

My weird quest went horribly. I mean, I got the damn adapter, but I went to walmart for it and I FUCKING HATE WALMART!!!

I've got mixed feelings about the Copyright Nazis. On one hand, I'd love to leave everything be and have media be completely open ... on the other hand, they do force you to be more creative, and if you can't create the music you need, the very least you can do is seek out your talented constituents to lend their creative skills to your project.
