This trend is easily chalked up to the SNL Lazy Sunday clip, wich was probably viewed a few million times through YouTube in the span of a week and a half.
Of course, YouTube should not have allowed this clip to remain on their servers as its obviously copyright infringement. I would doubt that YouTube cleared the rights with NBC to broadcast the clip. Simply waiting for a cease and desist order isn't really a great way for the YouTubes of the world to look at the issue. They knew the clip was generating huge interest and the traffic was certainly a benefit to them. This is not a good message for sites that try to legitimately clear the rights to broadcast content and provide proper policing to comply with legal standards. I know you can't always police every bit of "user generated content" on some of these sites, but this incident was obvious. -Josh On 1/16/06, robert a/k/a r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can this reportage re youtube and flickr be accurate, that's one steep > curve, eh? > > <http://www.technoogle.com/?p=342> > > > -- > cheers > r > > Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively > > My Vlog: http://r.24x7.com > Get A Good Deal: http://foo.24x7.com > > > > > > > Yahoo!
