C-SPAN: No Colbert for YouTube
I just wrote an update to last week's post on Stephen Colbert's speech at the Washington Correspondent's Dinner.
C-SPAN has asserted their copyright and forced YouTube to remove the video. C-SPAN is streaming the Colbert speech directly and also gave exclusive rights to Google Video. YouTube comments in a New York Times story today that the speech had been viewed a total of 2.7 million times in less than 48 hours on YouTube and that they felt stung having fueled the viral spread of the speech.
The big winner in all this? Stephen Colbert.
