ABS-CBN Interactive's Stupidity... Priceless.

Captain's Log Stardate
What kind of dumb ass interns or employees does ABS-CBN Interactive hire these days? One of our clips at gameopsTV has been taken down by YouTube because of another stupid copyright claim of ABS-CBN Interactive, or maybe in this case, because of a "mouse - clicking - trigger - happy - n00b - intern".
The clip that has been removed was one of the first explanations on what happened during the Wilyonaryo brouhaha 4 months ago.. FOUR F*C%^#G MONTHS AGO!
The thing I don't get is that how the hell did our video violate their copyright. I just used a short clip of that incident and then proceeded with our own video explanation. HAVEN'T THEY HEARD OF FAIR USE?! OH MY! STUPID F*C&%*G MORONS!
And you know what's funny? Our video actually sided with ABS-CBN. Their news website even credited gameops.net for that video.
In fact, YouTube users beat ABS-CBN in analyzing how the technical glitch on August 20 happened (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQNPPhXXhqc). This explanation was posted by a Filipino gaming site, www.gameops.net and is virtually the same explanation later given and demonstrated by Willie.
The poster from www.gameops.net said that this earlier, original design was the "most logical", "most economical" design.
SOURCE
The video was listed as YouTube's #88 most discussed entertainment video of all time and has more than 500 thousand views. And not to mention, thousands of funny and brain-draining comments :))
This is the second time they've claimed a stupid copyright content on YouTube regarding my videos and more videos will be taken down in the future as long as there's an ABS-CBN word on your tags.
Mike keeps calling them dinosaurs, but I bet the dinosaurs are even smarter.

This ABS-CBN, whatta LOL.
They should be thankful since our explanation favored them. What a way to say thanks. :))
What a bunch of uncoordinated hypocrites. Blogged.
well 'technically' ABS-CBN does own the copyrights to that video and we're not sure if its under (or maybe it isn't under) the 'Creative Commons' license
if it's not then they DO HAVE the rights to take out the video or even sue you BUT THEN AGAIN, piracy is something that's hard to stop, JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....
@john lennon - As I've mentioned on my post, there's this thing called "fair use"
