Fox Subpoenas YouTube For User Identity Over "24" Clips...

[Ian David]

20th Century Fox served YouTube with a subpoena Wednesday demanding the Google-owned viral video site disclose the identity of a user who uploaded copies of entire recent episodes of primetime series "24" and "The Simpsons."

The subpoena, which first came to light on the blog Google Watch (http://googlewatch.eweek.com/index.html), was granted by a judge in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California after being filed by the News Corp.-owned studio on January 18. It is not yet known whether YouTube has complied with the request.

1. Not a problem, 24 is an unrealistic ...

and DANGEROUS show. It makes the hard corps SS government wannabe "Shock Troops" BELIEVE that all that posturing and swagger gets the results. Just like John Wayne does not exist, their notion of swaggering, tough guy "bull in the china shop" approach - not only trashes future operations and key resources, but such interrogations also are *very rarely* fruitful. :thumbsdown: Once you use coercive interrogation techniques, you have LOST any future cooperation from the subject.

IMO YouTube flushing all videos of "24" is the loss of merely fantasy "monkey vomit."

Thanks 20th Century FOX. :applause: Gosh, if the public knew that REAL PsyOps and Interrogation procedures that are fruitful requires skill, cooperation between operatives and a great deal of patience and ongoing analysis, they'd be truly disappointed. Yes, what truly keeps us safe and proves effective in the long run is profoundly boring intel techniques (snore fest life of analysts), so instead FOX feeds us homo-erotic fantasies. :eyes:
