| This is funny
considering I'd rather watch show clips on youtube than going to every individual tv station website for a specific show, (which is littered with so much crap 90% of the time) which is more trouble that its worth.
so problem solved. i just won't watch the clips at all anywhere. |

| Which is what many people will end up doing. Which is also why its a horrible move on their part. Regardless whether its "in their right". That sort of comment is a farce and is easily stated.
The issue at hand is how heavy handed these businesses want to be with the internet. They want control over everything, yet the internet's very existence is not about control, its about information.
Look if you want us to watch it on your site great, but don't load it down with so much garbage that no one wants to visit the site. Adult swim gets this. They have their stuff easily accessible and the garbage is on a very low min to almost none.
I've been to the Comedy Central website and checked out the various show clips. The site is littered with too many ads.
We *don't* want to be advertised to on the net. We just want to get to the information/media nothing more nothing less. Spam would be a non-issue if we really wanted to be advertised to. |

No. The issue at hand is content-owners requesting that their material remains withing their control. Remember, under law, if a content owner is "fully aware" that their content is within the public domain, and they do nothing to correct it, then it becomes public domain. Meaning they loose all rights to protect their copyright / trademark / property. |
