Facebook today removed the video:

“We have removed your video entitled “I’m addicted to Twitter” uploaded at 1:39am October 17th, 2008. We did this because we learned that your video might include copyrighted material owned by a third party, such as a video clip or background audio.”

(Read the complete notice below)

Obviously I don’t have (exclusive) rights to use the background audio. I hold my hands up to it, although it clearly shows Facebook is now on to something . Removing homemade videos, is this the Microsoft influence or just advertisers looking for genuine User Generated Content ?

Compare that with YouTube who also actively remove videos infringing copyright, although only when they get too popular or someone actively complains about them. My video only has 137 views (absolutely tiny) and except from being silly and promoting Twitter doesn’t have much to it. Surely Twitter didn’t complain about it. So who did ? If no one complained then why remove the video and annoy users ?

Shame ! http://rajanand.biz/2008/09/09/brighton-based-salsa-still-using-tables-shame/ http://rajanand.biz/2008/09/09/brighton-based-salsa-still-using-tables-shame/#comments Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:39:02 +0000 rajanand http://rajanand.biz/?p=40 As a keen salsa dancer + web entrepreneur its great to be able to enjoy both varied but fun activities.

I decided to Google ‘Salsa Brighton’ I found none of the sites on the first page (except one) were reasonable from a design perspective. Most of them used table or iFrames in their code. Its a shame from an accessibility point of view !

I’m amazed how low the standard of Salsa dancing websites are and nothing has been done about it. Sorry I don’t mean to knock the industry but it really needs a crash course on website design !

Salsa Brighton by you.
