YouTube: Now with Sense of Irony Removed!

Lessig explains and weighs YouTube's cease-and-desist message to TechCrunch that inists that TechCrunch take down some code that lets you save a YouTube video to your machine. John Palfrey adds another layer of explanation.

Notes Lessig:

For a company that was built upon the unauthorized spread of other peoples' copyrighted work to threaten legal action against someone simply enabling people to save that work to his machine deserves at least special mention in a book by Alan Dershowitz.

To save you the mousing, the book is Chutzpah! [Tags: drm copyright lessig youtube techcrunch ]

I think the transactional cost of the mousing is actually smaller than the one of reading the next sentence.
