CNN is preemptively sending out copyright "reminds" to right leaning You-Tube channels letting them know they cannot re-stream the debate. And that You-Tube will terminate any streams that occur during the debate time. Wowsers.

I think this part now has less to do with coverage getting out (though that plays a role) and more to do with tightening their grip on the market of viewership because people like this are a threat to the establishment's market share. They want to be the ones people have to come to to see this thing and only their tight knit little group.

Its a move made out of desperation by a sinking company that cries as it strikes you
 
I look around and it seems CCN's threats have worked.

All the usual suspects have said they will not air the debate live. The common theme is that they don't trust that You Tube will side with them for Fair Use so they will just cover the pre-debate and do a post debate wrap up.





What a bunch of chicken shits. So much for your vaunted commitment to pursuing the truth Timmy. Your all gung-ho until your precious channel is threatened huh? Good to know that your income stream is more important then your morals. The whole lot of the Right Wing streams are cow'd by a simple threat to take away their income.

I've always said it but one of the big weaknesses of the right is they can be completely neutered by the threat of losing money. Leftists have literal armies of slavering cultists they can deploy to start riots or push propaganda because they're true believers who don't care about consequences, this probably isn't a good thing objectively but it does make them much much more effective than their right wing opponents.
 
Does stopping the debates being re-streamed the hour they are going on actually matter on the long term given everyone and their dog will likely be recording and will give commentary later?

And then they wonder why these companies continue to get away with the shit they do.

I don't ever want to hear any of them bitch about how Youtube is being unfair ever again when they're constantly given the chance to make the change they keep asking other people to make for them, but they never fucking take it.

Bunch of pussies, all of them. They can talk the talk, but none of them walk the walk.
 
Come to think of it, what difference does mic muting even make in this “debate”? They’re not in front of a crowd, they’re in a small room. Unless the only microphones are the ones on the podium, what’s to stop Trump from just speaking over a muted mic?

I assume the mic is through a feed for the viewer. Good luck trying to hear it.

Anyone who follows the Tim Pool thread already knew he was going to chicken out.
 
Doesn't Ohio also have a disproportionate number of Astronauts?
Ohio is the sort of place that its native sons can't wait to get away from. And if that means leaving the Earth to do so, that's what has to be done.
People these days forget that before the collapse of US auto and steel manufacturing, Ohio was a crown jewel of the nation. Some of the world's richest robber barons lived there.
Are you sure about that? Cleveland was forced to adopt "At least we're not Detroit!" as a reason to go there.
Fun fact, the reason Ohio and Michigan are such fierce rivals is because centuries ago we fought over what would now be Toledo. There were severe land disputes and war was declared between states, until the president at the time came down and declared that states cannot go to war and gave the land to Ohio. Though most may not remember where the bitter rivalry began, it was almost a rivalry of bloodshed.
And now the two continue that fight in a marginally less violent manner: college football.
 
Come to think about it, CNN "owning the rights" means they will copyright claim ANY clips of the debate leading up to the election. They can effectively copyright strike negative clips of biden into oblivion

They can but it violates fair use. The problem is that YouTube has been ignoring sending DMCA counter notices (the thing that forces a company to sue or quit) in a direct violation of the DMCA, but nobody has done anything about it.
 
This has the potential to backfire hard. If they just suddenly cut the feed it will raise a insane amount of gossip, and they won't be able to control it anyway because there are witnesses in the studio.
modern video production is such theres b roll always on standby and cuts to the audience while audio plays. it can be seemless and hard to see. unless they got some dei hack managing the control room.

Isnt Tim Pool the guy who told some random man that he had to be willing to sacrifice his livelihood for the cause or something like that?

Didn't Muskrat say he won't honor any DMCAs CNN sends him about debate clips because 1st Amendment?
