Viacom should just piss off July 4, 2008
Leave Google/Youtube alone Viacom, you can’t defeat the pirates! Youtube removes the videos, the users simply re-upload, you cannot win. Even worse is the fact some moronic court judge decided to force Youtube to hand over all user data to Viacom, so Viacom can personally sue every.single.user who’s watched any of their thousands of copyrighted clips. This will mean uproar in the pirate community.
The fact of the matter is, people on Youtube aren’t really pirates, Bittorrent users are, Limewire users are. Is Viacom going to succeed against them? No. Will they succeed against Youtube users? No. The entire media community needs to stop fighting the masses and flow with them, explore the advantages of mass user viewing.
Viacom = fail.

I no longer use del.icio.us, because it's unorganized. I use bookmarks, an app by me, for me! Of course, anyone can use it too though. It's unfinished, to work it you'll need a Kerplunc Account, register one here.
When I get around to making such a thing, latest links will magically reappear :)

Whoa, your site is super-pretty.
That is all I have to say.
Oh, and I totally agree about Viacom. They can [explecitive] off for all I care.
