Some good news for fans of YouTube and journalism - and no, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, so stop laughing:
LiberalViewer is back on the runaway-popular video file-sharing site.
(For a taste of LV's work, we've posted a link to his video on the local radio station water-drinking contest and resulting death.)
You may recall that YouTube purged the account and 60-something video commentaries posted by LV (Sacramento's Allen Asch) after Viacom charged that he had infringed copyrights. This week, Asch was informed that his videos are back up - minus, of course, any clip featuring Viacom shows such as "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report." (Well, actually, some videos with Stewart and Colbert clips are still viewable. Shhh! Don't tell Viacom.)
In any case, LiberalViewer maintains that clips he uses for commentaries fall under the "fair use" statute of copyright laws. Viacom, obviously, thinks otherwise.
