Out of control wanton robots set upon us by the chimera that is Corporations and People. Peopleations. Corporoeople. Whatever. It was robots.

What the hell are they doing issuing takedown notices for items which they have no copyright on? At best they’re morons if they’ve set up their robots that way.

We have seen recently that computers can nearly bankrupt a broker (Knight Capital) and other episodes (see risks digests). Reportedly the software looked for similiarities between Scripps reports and other posts found them and sent Youtube a takedown notice which Youtubes software proceeded to do. It appears that Scripps grabbed the Nasa feed and got it up on Youtube first, leading to the problem.
