Well folks, I got the dreaded "T.O.S. Violation" notice today. Looks like I'll be having to re-structure my future reviews a bit as a result. This is especially irritating, since I JUST finished a special 35-minute Christmas Edition of the Multimedia Chronicles, in which I talk about (and show clips from) some of my favorite Christmas movies as a gift to you all. Guess I'll just post it on my website, but unfortunately that will now have to be put off until AFTER Christmas... So much for being topical. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I only EVER used clips within the context of my reviews, which are technically NEWS items and thus any clips used within the CONTEXT of that news item falls well within "Fair Use" under U.S. copyright law. Anyway, this is my quickly thrown-together rant video about it. Beautiful high definition text set to gloomy music by yours truly. Enjoy. And have yourselves a great holiday! See you all in a few days... Want to have any of the DVDs or Blu-rays discussed in the video for your own collection? You can buy 'em right here! I get a few pennies for your purchase, which goes toward helping to keep this site running and helping to fund future video productions. Your support is greatly appreciated.
