Caught in the BlogosphereComedy Central Yanks Daily Show Clips

By Charlie Kondek

BoingBoing reports that Comedy Central has ordered clips of The Daily Show removed from YouTube for copyright violation. As we have said often in the past, online resources like YouTube extend the life of a brand, and Daily Show clips are among the most heavily viewed content on the site. Ordering these clips removed not only damages the show's brand but takes wind out of the sails of the grass-roots activity that have helped make this show such a phenomenon in the first place. One blog reader even explains why using YouTube is preferable to watching clips on Comedy Central's own site.
