 Everybody knows about YouTube. Newscasters make reference to it in stories, cable shows countdown the most ridiculous videos, and parents worry incessantly about the content their children might run across. It has joined the ranks of Internet sites like Google, Yahoo, and Facebook as a top-tier service. Copyright holders, especially the corporate ones, also try to keep tabs on YouTube content. In their case they do so not for entertainment value, but in order to be able to make a takedown request if something they own gets posted to the site. Now copyright and intellectual property are major bugaboos of the digital age, much contested topics argued across a multitude of platforms. This post does not intend to address that argument. What this post does do is direct you towards one of the more interesting websites to grow out of the ongoing controversy: YouTomb. YouTomb is a site contructed by MIT Free Culture, geared towards keeping tabs on top-tier takedowns on the YouTube platform. In their own words: MIT Free Culture became especially interested in the issue after YouTube announced that it would begin using filtering technology to scan users' video and audio for near-matches with copyrighted material. While automating the takedown process may make enforcement easier, it also means that content falling under fair-use exceptions and even totally innocuous videos may receive some of the collateral damage. The front page shows a column of videos along with the name and link to the group who requested the takedown and a note on how many days the video has been online. No matter what your position on the copyright debate may be, this still makes for great surfing. You can even filter the results so that you can view the collected takedown requests of a single group or company. For instance, as I write this, the top three videos Warner Brothers Communications has requested be taken down are a new Batman: The Dark Knight movie trailer and two videos ripped from an old Seinfeld episode. Below it are clips from old episodes of The Gilmore Girls and a lot of classic Scooby Doo.
