The power of the Clintons
this afternoon i showed the wife the SNL sketch, that skewered Hillary so accurately last night.
On my way home from work, i stopped at a friends home, to set up a trip in the morning, to pick up an outboard motor.
i went to youtube to show him the Hillary sketch, because it was to me, spot on and hilariously true.
Gone.
went to google
every link gone.
Its as if they fed it into a memory hole.
just seems kind of creepy to me

1. copyright issues. Networks need their money and ad revenue.

5. i dont think so
any more than i believe the copyright infringment claims
snl regularly posts the skits on the SNL website but its all gone
all the ones where they said what hillary wanted us to hear are still there
i find the use of copyright as cover to be a thin excuse at best
youtube is covered with snl material but no copyright shutdowns on that

9. To be fair, that's the power of NBC.
You can find it on the SNL site:

11. Still all over YouTube

No conspiracy. YouTube yanks videos that receive copyright complaints.

14. Uh, SNL is one of those that actively goes around taking down
Edited on Mon May-12-08 04:58 AM by Jamastiene
any reproductions of their show online. I've even had one nonpolitical video taken down by them just recently (last week). It's nothing new and certainly cannot be attributed to the Clintons as they do not own the rights to any SNL skit to begin with. Simple as that.
