The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Considering that internet usage skews young, educated, urban, and somewhat middle class, that is hardly surprising.

The recent string of questionable YouTube removals is bothersome from an admnistrative point of view but I wouldn't expect it to continue under Google's control. Of course, I don't see how YouTube can continue at all under Google's control since now it has deep pockets that every IP owner will want a piece of. Google can no longer claim to simply be caching and somehow within fair use.
