Journal pudge's Journal: Alan Keyes Arrested 25

Journal by pudge

I couldn't find the video of Alan Keyes being arrested on YouTube, so I added it. Update I should have been clear: this is from 1996. It's not recent. :-)

This discussion was created by pudge (3605) for no Foes, but now has been archived. No new comments can be posted.

      No, you're not saying anything. You're asking. What ARE you trying to say?

        I think he was implying you may be violating someone's copyright by posting that video to youtube. Unless of course you own the copyright or have reason to believe that posting it falls under fair use.

        (note that I personally take a rather broad view fair use and believe the current copyright system is broken so I tend not to get upset over anything except blatant commercial violations.)

          Yes, it quite clearly falls under fair use. The historical/news value of the video, the short excerpt, the fact that it doesn't detract from the potential commercial value of the copyrighted work ... there's no question this falls under fair use. You don't need a broad view of fair use to see this posting as acceptable, you need to completely gut fair use to think it is unacceptable.

            Again I'm inclined to agree. Unfortunately some take such a narrow view of fair use as to all but eliminate it. Among them many of our large media firms who have the resources to wage PR campaigns, lobby lawmakers, and use barristry to achieve their goals.

              Yep. And I give such people no mercy!

          Again, that's not saying anything.

          But yes, I am.

              Which one of us is the troll? :-)
              • Let's just say, if you've ever trolled, I haven't seen it. I can't say the same thing for other parties involved. ;-)
                • I've seen Pudge troll.

                  Best .sig ever or greatest .sig ever?

                  But seriously if you define trolling as deliberately stirring things up/baiting, he once played CyranoVR like a fiddle. Just sayin', and just one example. :-)
                  • Not like it's hard to stir up CyranoVR! The only person I've ever seen get more worked up is that crazy bitch wife of his.

                  I usually just troll the trolls. Like I was just doing. :)
  • Is this breaking news? If so do you know what the charges are?

    If not, when is the video from?

        Oh, sorry didn't get a chance to look at it that closely as I'm at work.

        Talk about feeling like a fool.

      That's basically it. Atlanta, 1996.
  • I am curious as to your motivation in seeking this clip on YouTube, and in posting it when you found it absent. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me? Thank you.
