EFF Calls for YouTube Viacom Victims

Tags: | | | |

Viacom’s YouTube takedown was even more indiscriminate than ABS-CBN’s takedown, somehow sweeping videos completely unrelated to Viacom. If your video was one of them, the Electronic Frontier Foundation wants to hear from you.

As I’ve said before, I don’t care if Viacom wants to fall off the YouTube charts. I do care if they drag other people with them.
