YouTube Erosion

April 20th, 2007

They are dropping like flies. Now they’ve taken down the Code Monkey video by Mousewrites that used clips from Stargate Atlantis – yes, it was definitely a copyright violation. Still, a shame.

    If you’re using IE7, go to microsoft.com/ie and click the “get tools” link. There is a simple addon that downloads youtube videos. There are dozens of others out there, but that was the easiest for me to find.

    Firefox has a similar addon from the same people, I believe.

    Save everything locally. YouTube and similar sites make a great place to explore but a lousy respoitory.

    Vixy.net does the same thing.

    SGA vid? Wish I’d have seen it…

    This could be the sign that you are getting too well know for YouTube to ignore the videos that are breaking copy right and have your name as a keyword. That is a good thing.

    You can find the SGA “Code Monkey” vid on a site called imeem. Go here: http://mousewrites.imeem.com/video/KBZHsIwu/sga_code_monkey/
