Today, Brian Cooley was interviewed on CNBC about America Airlines and the subpoenas that they’ve given to Google and YouTube. According to news.com:
Someone uploaded part of a video used to train flight attendants on YouTube and Google Video. The airline subpoenaed those companies on Feb. 21 under the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), according to airline spokesman Tim Wagner. Under the provisions of the DMCA, companies have the right to request information in the event that their copyright materials are infringed upon.
The video in question, titled “Flight Attendant, Upside Down,” is under copyright, Wagner said.
Ok, that’s all well and good. Pretty interesting, right? Well during the taping, CNBC used some rather eye-catching b-roll for the part about YouTube.
This was it. Good choice, guys. Please keep in mind that this is going on while Brian is trying to discuss copyright and the DMCA and all that important stuff. So ridiculous.

I don’t know which to feel more distressed about: the silliness of all these cease & desists against YouTube, or the fact that two grown men videotaped themselves lip-synching Barbie Girl.
agreed.
is it bad that the guy in the back reminds me of nixie?
Not to be nit-picky, but ridiculous is spelled…uh, well, like I spelled it
