ABS-CBN Takes Down Sharon Sotto YouTube Clip

To my knowledge, Filipina import model Sharon Sotto is not an ABS-CBN “talent” (and I use the term loosely). Apparently, ABS-CBN thinks they own everybody. They just took down a YouTube clip of the US model.

Once again, ABS-CBN frivolously takes down a YouTube clip they don’t own. I’d like to remind ABS-CBN management that DMCA takedown notices require sworn statements. They may well be committing multiple acts of perjury, acts for which they may someday be held accountable. I’m sure the EFF would love to make that happen.

Surely having some dumb intern do indiscriminate YouTube searches isn’t worth that legal risk.

Gundam 00 OP2

If the first quarter of Gundam 00 was more about introduction, the second quarter will be more about action. That’s reflected by the second opening sequence of Gundam 00, featuring The Brilliant Green’s Ash Like Snow. Sure, Setsuna ejecting into an orbital skydive for no apparent reason makes for an emo start, but the HD battle scenes make absolutely scrumptious eye candy. Hit series often get bigger budgets — and judging from the animation in its second opening, Gundam 00 is clearly a hit.

The rivalries for three of our four heroes are clearly defined in this opening: Allelujah versus Soma, Lockon versus Graham, and Setsuna versus Ali. That leaves out Tieria. Now who’s supposed to fight that cyberpathic transvestite protocol bitch?
