I found the video above embedded in a blog post by Raoul Pop, a photographer whose blog I am subscribed to. It's pretty interesting stuff and confirms an assumption I had come to a few months back when YouTube blocked one of my video uploads - a crappy 'Rick Roll' April Fool. I don't usually … Continue reading YouTube Dispute Process
