LAWYERS, PART TWO: COLLEGIATE SPORTS, LLC BEGINS TO SCRUB YOUTUBE
How YouTube will ever be properly policed is beyond us, but it’s happening: Panhandler gets a video axed by Youtube simply for having the words “Florida” and “football” in it, all courtesy of Collegiate Sports, LLC. Never mind that it was just a friend of his goofing around on Broward Beach–CS is “blast-faxing” anything and everything that might be construed as copyright violation without watching it.
Does this mean the end of all the glorious free usable footage on YouTube? And if so, can we post video of Rex Grossman throwing go routes on PornTube? That’s porn to us, at least.
Overkill: a fine album by Motorhead. Also a lame legal strategy.

Okay, I know this thread is long-dead, but I’ve found another Gator in the same spot as me. His story here:

Also, here’s a fan of florida football:

(and I thought Comments took bizarre turns here at EDSBS)

Re: Rex Grossman
1) What’s up with the eyebrows? Looks like he’s been getting them plucked. Isn’t that grounds for an ass-whipping in Chicago?
2) Am I the only one struck by his startling resemblance to the drummer from the Romantics circa 1981?

bitterhorn,
Perhaps you’d like the pizza, where they often use ketchup as the tomato sauce.

Speaking of Prague, don’t go there for the mexican food. Bad, bad idea.

Let’s see. Google buys youtube and shortly thereafter youtube caves to a cretinous mob and starts blindly eliminating anything and everything that could even conceivably be a copyright violation.
Hopefully no one other than my 9-year old really believed their self-serving “do no evil” motto.

So your buddy isn’t Sasha Cohen? Damn.

Dink,
No offense to you was intended, implied, etc. I just had a couple drinks tonight and got mouthy. For all that, I’m glad you caught my error so that I could correct my own post and let any “Collegiate Images” ‘trons who think to google their corporate moniker find my post or this one, and prostrate themselves before us in a grand apologia. (mmmyeah, that’ll happen.)
To think how many of their hats I done bought in the last 20 years!
