Viacom wtf?

[Eli]

For some reason it seems that Viacom is doing all they can to rid the internet of the video where huckabee is on the colbert report and tells stephen that he's worried about Ron Paul getting the top tier status.

Everywhere you look for the video its been taken down due to complaints from viacom. Anyone have a copy?

see what i mean? None of the other Colbert Report videos seem to be getting attacked by copyright claims like this one is.

Here, and they have complained before about other snagged Colbert reports on YouTube.com. http://www.indecision2008.com/blog.jhtml?c=vc&videoId=91746

I forgot to mention. The deal as they explained before, is that they prefer you use their embedable player to post the video on sites, and that you send people to the comedy central site. Its there show, they do have the copyright, and they aren't hiding it, they just insist that you use it on their terms.

Subvert such efforts by creating a torrent and putting it on thepiratebay, isohunt, etc.

Viacom has done this for awhile. They want people to go to their websites (ComedyCentral.com where all the interviews can be found.)
