What’s up with Facebook pages lately ripping off videos from YouTube and posting them without any credit? I don’t get why they go to the extra effort of downloading the video off YouTube and reuploading it to Facebook when they can just use the YouTube embed. You’re screwing the creator over and making more work for yourself! I don’t get it. The only explanation I can come up with is that you’re a piece of shit.

I just scrolled through my news feed and came past 4 videos posted in the last 3 hours without any credit to the creator. Videos people put effort into making, and probably trying to earn a bit of money off YouTube ad revenue. Give credit where credit is due - it’s EASY!

Pretty cool video! I can’t get enough of this song.

I’m currently downloading House of Cards (had to torrent it because Netflix isn’t available in Australia) and just read this great post on The Black and Blue. It gives a bit of insight on what being on a set with David Fincher is like.

I also really like this quote from the Director’s Guild of America’s article about the series.

“The world of 7:30 on Tuesday nights, that’s dead. A stake has been driven through its heart, its head has been cut off, and its mouth has been stuffed with garlic. The captive audience is gone. If you give people this opportunity to mainline all in one day, there’s reason to believe they will do it.”

- David Fincher

Spoken in true David Fincher no fucking around style. He’s so right though about the captive audience. People these days have their own programming schedules. I think we’re in a bit of an awkward transition phase where traditional TV is dying out and online video is slowly replacing it. The main reason it’s awkward and slow is because until this series there hasn’t been a lot of online exclusive content that’s on par with some of the stuff on TV (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc). That and there still isn’t a solid distribution method. Netflix seems like it could be a good replacement, but like I said earlier - it’s not available in Australia and a lot of other countries. Funding is another issue. Netflix obviously can’t fund the amount of shows the big TV networks can. Let’s see if/how this Apple TV rumour plays out… Interesting times.
