Guerilla Video
Of late, we have young countrymen who manage to capture every TV show on local channels than upload 'em onto Youtube without even asking for a fee, so that everyone else who have no time to watch their favorite shows or newsfeeds get them in there for free.
Fact is, Youtube has become the world's favorite VCR, chock-full of just about everything from television.
Such is the case of a TV soap opera that, I admit, my nephew rabidly goes after on a regular basis except his school sked demands early sleep time. So the first thing I did is to look for the recent upload of that show and leech it with a special web-based tool, before converting and then burning it to disc.
Unfortunately the TV networks across the world, of course, are not pleased by this copyright-breaking practice that they often request Youtube to take off the vids, which happed to the guy uploading the soaps onto his Youtube page. But undaunted by these tactics, these guerilla video feeds will try to resurface with new accounts and uploads.
Like MP3s before, web-based video has come to question the need of a copyright in our society's wired world.
