Here’s a clever PSA from the folks at Rocketboom that shows exactly how to post your video works that are protected under Fair Use and prevent them from being arbitrarily removed from YouTube by ignorant dickhead ill-informed legal counsel of Big Media.
The Rocketboom Institute for Internet Studies explains how YouTube makes it easy to dispute a wrongful copyright claim.

Protect your works. Protect the interwebs. Tell Big Media to fuck off.
Cheers.

Great video! I have to admit I didn’t come across your site looking for this information, but I’m happy to have found it. Another problem youtube has is how people flag videos that have not violated the terms of use and youtube takes them down or censors them.
I actually came across your blog looking for you because I have some questions I’d like to ask you about Labyrinth if possible. I tried to find a email to contact you with on the blog but couldn’t. I hope you don’t mind.
That’s cool. You can reach me here:
