Or perhaps the people who filmed it are claiming copyright, it would be good to know one way or another.
I found the video on IMC UK having been published there I couldn't imagine that anyone would
possibly be claiming Copyright.
So I was very surprised when You Tube pulled th plug on it and informed me that some one had claimed the copyright for this film. Strikes me as a bit sus could it be that perhaps plod is claiming this for "Old Bill productions" due to the fact he is extremely embarrassed by the footage ?
Or is there some activist dude out there who wants his copyright ?
Some other called Tonypandafizz (or similar) had published the video on his page, it's also
had the same treatment. I intend to do a bit of work on it and bosch it straight back up there again. Unless the real "owner" of the film makes it clear that he or she doesn't want it plastered all over the net I'll accept that. If it is an old bill Ruse i hope that hundreds of people will stick it on Youtube and similar sites .. W4

These 'free' content sharing sites are big business with the user providing the content for free while the likes of youtube cash in on the traffic generated. When you upload something you sign over the right to that corporation to sell 'your' content. That's what they are interested in, selling content and adertising space. They don't care what the content is as long as it doesn't cause them any trouble and they'll quite happily remove anything that you've contributed since their interest is making money not providing a platform for 'free speech'.
So, sure, go ahead an use these sites if you wish but the more you do the more you propel them to near monopolistic status and take energy from alternative projects such as indymedia.
that's not news
