KSDK Chickens Out Then Tries to Shut Down PubDef Labels: Media_Watch
On September 18, Multimedia KSDK, Inc. filed a complaint with YouTube about our posting of a video contrasting a September 13 story by reporter Mike Owens which ended with a promise to air a tape of an allegedly crooked real estate seller "saying he makes regular payments of cash to the local alderman" with their September 14 follow-up story that makes no mention of the allegation.
YouTube suspended our account and took all 500 of our videos off-line. We filed a counter-notification with YouTube charging that KSDK was full of shit and our usage of their video clearly falls under the "Fair Use" doctrine.
We won. Our videos were restored, PubDef lives on and KSDK continues to protect the status quo.
