Wednesday, Wednesday—can’t trust that day.
- Silent films are coming to YouTube—but not because of DMCA requests. Instead, YouTube is giving users the option to remove infringing music from videos. Or they’ll do it themselves.
- A New York court dismissed Amazon’s objections to paying state taxes, filed after the New York law passed back in May.
- A new AdGooroo report takes a look at search ad marketshare. SEL looks at Microsoft’s success formula (More Ads = Better Ads = Better User Experience); meanwhile, Silicon Alley Insider focuses on Yahoo’s 36% drop in share.
- Ad Age outlines viable opportunities for the recession including online video, analytics, e-books and online coupons.







Great round up. The story about opportunities that are available in this economic downturn is a great read. Being interested in internet marketing and blogging I really enjoyed reading it.
Isn’t everyone being a little too paranoid with the whole music in videos deal? If they don’t download it, what’s the difference between listening to it on the radio?
I hope that the option to have it on or turned off remains in the user’s hand for silencing videos. There may well be some where removal may impact the quality of the video.

I’m with you Quilmes. I just don’t get why the music industry is enforcing their copyrights so hard. It’s as if they aren’t making tons of money already, but they have to make sure that we pay for music before being able to listen to it.

That is so interesting that Youtube and Google are removing music from videos and making some videos almost muted. I heard about that earlier today, its shocking. Other video sites may grab a lot more popularity that aren’t as censored yet.
