Required Blog List Post 4

I also came across the article, "15 Year-Old Scams YouTube", on Slashdot and thought it also peaked my interest. The article states that "a fifteen year old from Perth, Australia, posed as an employee of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, demanding that YouTube remove hundreds of video clips of 'The Chasers War on Everything.' The amusing part is that The Chaser is a comedy company well known to perpetrate exactly this sort of prank." While this article was relatively funny, I also found it to be relevant to the Viacom vs. Google case that we spoke about in class. Viacom was demanding Google/YouTube to take down certain video clips from YouTube's site. It seems that YouTube has been dealing with not only Viacom, but other companies, with this issue.
