emily's link to youtube controversy

i tried to post this reaction to emily's link to the article about the evanston school board video on youtube but for some reason blogger is not letting me comment on blogs right now, so i'll put it here instead:

great find, emily! paulina and i are doing the first techno teach-in on web-based content sharing on tuesday, and this could be an interesting thing to bring up.

if i understood the article correctly, if the man who posted the video had recorded the meeting himself instead of trying to post the state's video, youtube would not have intervened to take it down... these kinds of copyright laws are so ambiguous, and they make me pity the people whose job it is to moderate these kinds of sites.
