So I was watching an episode of Cosmos on youtube. An episode about human learning, how far we've come. The last section of the episode I watched, since they're all cut up into pieces, part five of six, was about libraries and how great it is how humans can share knowledge so easily, how far we've come in so little time. The piece ends, and so I go on to part 6 to finish the episode. But then I find the audio has been removed. "NOTICE This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled." I'm watching a man teach about how beautiful it is for the species to pass on information freely and easily, and then, he's silenced. Shame on WMG, and honestly shame on the system that honors this kind of bullshit.

Sagan would be so angry at this. I am too.
