Video Clips Might Not Last Forever
If you didn’t watch the excellent The Last Temptation of Hughie and Owenie, well you missed your chance. It is no longer available (IMDb)
With the recent acquisition of YouTube by Google, the copyright issues are beginning to get addressed. Google has said they won’t tolerate copyright abuses - which, if they don’t manage to make agreements with the necessary parties, means YouTube will be about as popular as Napster was when it first went legal. Already 30,000 clips from Comedy Central have been removed.
So, while they’re still there, make sure you’ve seen what you want to from this list of clips most likely to be removed:
Film Shorts
• Guy’s Dog, claymation by Rory Bresnihan
• Choppers by Paul Farran
• A Taxing Night by Brian O’Neill, Paul Bushe & Paul Canning
Television Clips
• Time Trumpet Soap including voice by Barry Murphy
• BBC Northern Ireland Sports News by Apres Match
• Dearg Doom discussed by Horslips
• Spancil Hill by Christy Moore & Shane MacGowan on the Late Late
• How Irish Are You Test by Rodge and Podge
• Own-Goal for England by Gary Neville v Croatia
