Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/zaranyzerak Audio Blog - http://zaranyzerak.tumblr.com Friday Night Chatroom - http://www.stickam.com/zaranyzerak Well folks, I got the dreaded "T.O.S. Violation" notice today. Looks like I'll be having to re-structure my future reviews a bit as a result. This is especially irritating, since I JUST finished a special 35-minute Christmas Edition of the Multimedia Chronicles, in which I talk about (and show clips from) some of my favorite Christmas movies as a gift to you all. Guess I'll just post it on my website, but unfortunately that will now have to be put off until AFTER Christmas... So much for being topical. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I only EVER used clips within the context of my reviews, which are technically NEWS items and thus any clips used within the CONTEXT of that news item falls well within "Fair Use" under U.S. copyright law. Anyway, this is my quickly thrown-together rant video about it. Beautiful high definition text set to gloomy music by yours truly. Enjoy. And have yourselves a great holiday! See you all in a few days... UPDATE: I appealed the claim and WON! The Blackstar vid is up, ads are enabled, no more black mark on my account, and all is finally well and good. And it only took 8 months! Woohoo.
