| subject: | `This video is not playable in your country` Who gets to see the Big B |
From: "Rich Gauszka" http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/02/24/75687_09OPcringely_1.html?source=NLC- NOTES2006-02-27 When U.S. citizen Bill O. used Google video search to check out footage of an explosion in Iraq, he received a " This video is not playable in your country" message, even though Netizens in Canada and the U.K. can watch the "Big Boom" just fine. But Google isn't to blame for this one; whoever uploads a video can block any country from viewing it. In this case the videohead appears to be a member of U.S. coalition forces, and doesn't want (or isn't allowed) to let American viewers watch things go boom. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2053731645001034711 --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
