As Rights Clash on YouTube Some Music Vanishes
New York Times
Under the current process we make YouTube aware of WMG content. Their content ID tool then takes down all unlicensed tracks regardless of how they are used” said Will Tanous a spokesman for Warner Music. Weybret’s video family home videos that included a portion of a song playing in the background have been removed as have any number of videos that use music in goofy ways from montages to mash-ups. When a man posted a video of himself using music to teach sign language the audio was switched off because he lacked the proper copyright clearance to use Foreigner’s 1980s song “Waiting for a Girl Like You. ”More broadly however the takedown notices are a glaring example of the rising tensions between Internet sites that distribute content free and owners of copyrighted material. In late December Warner and YouTube failed to agree to terms on a new licensing deal that would have paid Warner a cut of advertising revenue in exchange for permission to stream the music company’s videos.
Critiquing the Press
Washington Post
The president’s answers can be judged on their own merits. Which leads me to this question: are we hitting the exhaustion point with cable talk shows that are clearly advocating a specific political point of view? I find myself tired of hearing the same old same old spiel everyday by the reps on either end of the political spectrum. Am I by myself in this view or do you sense others are starting to feel the same way?Howard Kurtz: I’ve grown somewhat tired of the predictability of some hosts and some programs and I believe many others have as well. But many viewers like to have their own views reinforced when they watch cable news. The popularity of Bill ‘Reilly and Sean Hannity on one hand and Keith lbermann and Rachel Maddow on the other would suggest that this is a winning formula. In cable where 1 million viewers is considered a strong showing you don’t need “American Idol”-type numbers to be successful. _______________________Herndon Va.

Actually given the fact that many regular-school students now pay more attention to classes in private tuition schools in the evening and on weekends instead of engaging in extra-curricular activities such as sports and arts like their international-school counterparts the whole secondary school system in this country needs overhauling. Universities that offer these programmes – and there are plenty now – usually benefit by gaining a better world ranking. The extra money they bring in pays for better computer and audio-visual equipment new buildings and faculty trips overseas. Meanwhile overseas-educated Thai professors have the opportunity to teach English-language courses and earn the kind of money that they would make at universities abroad. And those international-school students caught between two stools – not being able to get into an overseas university and not able to work through the regular university admission system because of their limited Thai – are now happy to find a seat available at a prestigious university. Then there are the parents who paying much less than they had been for international primary and secondary schools here are satisfied with the fact that their loved ones are getting a world-class education without having to leave their home country. Everybody is happy which means criticism will probably fall on deaf ears.
Utahns applaud President’s effort to reach out to Iran
Salt Lake Tribune
But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds us together. ” “So in this season of new beginnings I would like to speak clearly to Iran’s leaders” he said. “We have serious differences that have grown over time. My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us and to pursuing constructive ties among the United States Iran and the international community. ” “This process will not be advanced by threats. We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect” he said. The use of the term “mutual respect” has become a kind of code-word in speeches by bama and President Ahmadinejad signifying a break with the Bush administration which listed Iran as part of an “axis of evil” that included Iraq and North Korea.
