Hi,
I wanted to update everyone about our progress in putting up WikiConference India 2011
videos on Youtube. I did not intend to post about this until we had put all the videos
online, however the circumstances are such that I thought its best to keep everyone
posted.
Yesterday when one of our volunteers was working on the videos and tried to change the
licensing of the ones uploaded thus far to CC in the Wikipedia Spirit, he realised that
the Keynote address by Jimmy [1] has a Copyright Claim by Star News, a subsidiary of
Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp. The video had been blocked in certain countries and we
could not change the licensing to enable people to reuse freely (and there are ads next to
the video).
This morning I have filed a dispute with Youtube and sent an email to Google as well
mentioning that this is outrageous since it was our event and our videographer - I fail to
understand how this claim is tenable! Will keep you posted on the response.
