Todays links of interest:
- Fox Pulls Bones in Wake of College Massacre
Sigh. We think that people can understand that an episode that was written and shot quite some time ago and just happens to be about a dead college student is totally and utterly different from and not meant to comment upon a real-life horrific tragedy. - Google Says Copyright Video Filter Almost Ready
While this will no doubt indemnify YouTube from future copyright violations, it will also mean the end of YouTube as the go-to destination for viral videos like that "Studio 6A" parody from Conan O’Brian last week. And when all of the copyrighted material scatters to the "proper" websites, who is going to remember where to go for what? - Sanjaya gets booed at baseball game
As well he should: his fastball had no movement and he was hanging his curve, leading to his giving up 6 runs on 8 hits in just two innings. FOX really needs to rethink these crossovers. - MTV gets with a new program
What’s interesting about this is that for the first time in a very long time, MTV is late in reacting to youth culture instead of being perfectly in sync with it. - Sunita runs Boston marathon in space
Kenya is considering creating a space program just so that one of their athletes can win it there, as well. - Judges reject appeals from webcasters
Not a surprise. More like a death knell for many small broadcasters and more than a few larger ones. Contact your Congressional representative if you care about Internet radio.
