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.

I ran into Filipina FHM cover girl Avi Siwa at the gym yesterday. We talked a bit about her new business ventures, and the conversation turned to online branding. Turns out she owned her name’s domain, but hadn’t done anything with it yet.

Longtime readers may recall that when I first registered MikeAbundo.com, I redirected it to my old Blogspot account. That’s what I told her.

That’s exactly what she just did. Check out AviSiwa.com. It’s just a frame redirect to her Blogspot account, and she’s only been blogging since December, but it’s a start. Welcome to the blogosphere, Avi.
