Its a way of avoiding copyright protection. Essentially, if you record off of a TV it voids the copyright, making it your own video. That's why they do it, and now you know. It means that this video won't be taken down immediately by Viacom.
I dont think so JBF.
But as the image/sound has been altered so much in the process its harder for viacoms robots to identify it as infringing material.
Thats why some stuff is mirrored b4 its put on YT. (Though I'm guessing they will search for mirrored stuff too if they dont already)
ya... Ive seen the name here but always looked like something im not into. I usually come here for the interesting sciency/engineering/documentary/cartoons type videos (I know thats not the point of the site)
The bit with the baby at the end was comic genius! Its so wroong, but so silly and casual at the same time
I miss the days when we had more sciency/documentary/nature type videos around here. I don't know exactly if the people who posted them had front page privileges and now they're gone or what happened exactly but there seem to be less of them these days.
