20th Century Fox ruined my lectures by taking the Simpsons clips off the internet

BTW I stole this

I have been working steadily on next week’s lecture and thought I might just check if the 30 seconds Simpsons videos I was using in my lectures are still on youtube.  No they are not.  I got a message from the company in question saying for violation of copyright the videos have been shut down.   Last time I checked copyright law this was fair use!

So what have I done instead.  Well thankfully I have found a few De Bono videos and this one from shoemoney about yahoo and if it matters.  The lecture is about policy and strategic assumptions – the satire of The Simpsons is picture perfect.  Shoemoney is good too and a good replacement but C’MON why did you have to take those videos off the frickin’ internet!  It made my otherwise BORING lectures somewhat interesting.  I am really mad!  Now I can’t entertain myself while I lecture anymore thanks to the overfed legal beast that sucks on the teats of the Fox Corporation.  I hope whoever thought it was a GOOD idea to take the videos off the internet remembers the little guy (me) next time they pull them off the web.

I will leave you with some thoughts on piracy:

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
