I have a bookmarked collection of music videos that I regularly venture to on youtube. I've noticed in the last week or so that I am sometimes redirected to be rick rolled. It was funny once, but now it's annoying. Is this a youtube initiative? From the comments on youtube it's happening to others as well. Does anyone know more about this?

Imagine how I felt when I learned there isn't really a rape tunnel.

Well actually, I was reading about Warner Music group on BoingBoing last week. I had a lot of George Carlin videos on here before he died and some more right after. In just two or three days after Carlin's death Warner started removing Carlin posts all over the place. (Which of course pissed me off because Carlin being alive was probably the only reason some asshole record executive hadn't pulled them already.) Anyway, the reason I mention it is that the article I was reading was talking about copyright in general and new ways that record companies are trying to discourage people from downloading material.

What you're talking about actually sounds similar to some of the stuff they mention. Apparently somewhere along the line some younger and hipper industry people started pointing out that there are other ways to discourage people from taking their stuff. The six-figure lawsuits and DRM were actually just serving to demonize companies and someone realized that the key to reaching their goal was to get people on their side.

Now, I'm not saying I'm sure but I've noticed a few things on youtube these days that seem fishy so I went directly to Warner's site to investigate and you know what I found?

They actually ha a whole army of techs working onwe're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. Full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and, desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie, and hurt youyou belive that shit?

They'll stop at nothing these days.
