Whoever is responsible for this, be it King's estate, Time Warner, DreamWorks or Fucking Orange Monkeys Incorporated, they should be ashamed of themselves.

No man, regardless of how greed-filled they are, can attempt something like this without feeling utter and honest shame. I feel sorry for the Warner representants who asked YouTube for the speech to be blocked, and for the YouTube technician who had to block the video by Warner's demand.

Youtube are scared shitless of copyright infringement, and approve any troll that flags anything as infringing copyright. They don't want to give videos the benefit of the doubt, in case they get sued. That way they give all flagged videos the guilty before proven innocent treatment, so they can put themselves at minimal risk of being prosecuted. The original owner of the video has to submit an appeal claiming true ownership of the video before it's put back up, and that takes a hell of a lot longer than it does to take the video down.

Copyright really isn't a bad thing. It's usually a good thing. It's just things like this and the whole issue with James Cameron/Legend of Korra that make me hate it. Certain people like to take it a bit too far.
