I agree that this kind of stuff sucks. But I understand their viewpoint on the videos that are clearly copyrighted material and your video seems to go into that category. I think the length of a music track has a minimum length under which it's use doesn't break copyright law. So something like a less then 20s bits are ok. Or something. I think.

I've been thinking this a lot. I think the americans are quite sad people with things like nudity and cursing being so big things. Everybody knows what comes out of a persons mouth if you *bleep* them. And everybody knows that Janet Jackson has boobs. Making them big things just makes them even bigger. (Plz, don't feed the troll :) Good thing finnish people aren't like that.

half_cocked_jack writes "What are the classic books of science from throughout history? I'm currently reading On the Origin of Species on my Kindle 2, and it's sparked an interest in digging up some of the classic books of science. I'm looking for books from the ancient and medieval worlds and books from the golden ages of scientific discovery. Books like: Galileo's The Starry Messenger; Newton's Principia; Copernicus's On The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres; and Faraday's The Chemical History of a Candle. I know that I can likely find these books in a format I can use on my Kindle (found a few on Gutenberg already), but what I need is a checklist of these books to guide my reading. Suggestions?"

YouTube striped the Audio Track from my Video!!-> 2

FredMastro writes "All the time I read how the RIAA is suing everyone and YouTube is taking down fair use videos and the world is falling apart with Copyright. I read it and I agreed about the ridiculousness of it and complained in my head and moved on, hoping one day I'd see that article that says things are turning around. Until about 5 minutes ago. I've had what I believe is clearly a FairUse video on YouTube for three years. Just found out that YouTube has stripped out the audio content from my video stating it was copyrighted! Of course it is but that doesn't mean it's not fair use! Is there anything I can do about it? This is ridiculous. Has this been happening a lot? I've not seen any articles stating they started stripping out audio tracks from the movies. I'm more interested if there is someone to complain too that can do anything about it. You can view the original video on SoapBox or try and download it directly from my site."

Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App 397

jarrettwold2002 writes "Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced via his Twitter account today, 'Apple rejects the NIN iPhone update because it contains objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is "The Downward Spiral."' The initial NIN Access iPhone app garnered much fanfare (Wired article, Guardian article) and was approved by Apple. The update has been rejected due to an album reference. If Nine Inch Nails is having problems with censorship and approval what kind of problems are you having with the iPhone app approval process?"
