Let's hope it stays up now... We're watching you UMG.

@z00h I'm not contradicting myself. But start a Twit-InExile chat room on IRC, and people will start using it over time.

[z00h]

@gogledoessuck you are contradicting yourself, sorry. youtube is privately owned, same as Leo's chatroom. and unlike Leo's chatroom you could still download episode 391 from other sources but you can't actually chat about twit live shows anywhere else because everybody is in one place (i.e. you could but it doesn't make sense to chat with yourself only).

[gogledoessuck]

@z00h You are certainly right that most of the twit moderators appear to be hysterical, closed minded and overzealous however it is different. he UMG thing is like they come into your living room and put a cork in your mouth because they don't want you to speak, whilst the chat room is Laportes and he decides. That assumes of course that the moderators are living up to Laportes rules, and that is doubtful at this point.

UMG is abusing their power! Keep this online!!!!

[z00h]

@Sneckster you mean UMG used censorship to block material which they don't like? TWiT network and Leo Laporte himself have been doing same for ages, just go to their chatroom and see the censorship at it's best.

[Sneckster]

Good to see the episode is back up but lets not forget that for days UMG has managed to block a news story about itself.

[Sneckster]

@ablestmage I thought that but surely any legal problems would be between UMG and their artists not Megaupload?

A win for the little man makes me happy in my heart
