neil gaiman talk

found a great website called fora.tv from a link off slashdot.org pointing to wallstreet journal online.

at least these folks, gaiman included seem to realize that this might be a fun thing to do and they offer an embedded video option. thank you for recognizing me as a fan and an enthusiast and not treating me as if i was someone with nefarious intentions.

i hate that. ruins the whole mood.

anyways. haven't seen it but if you check the links on the fora player you'll notice they also give one the options to download the mp3, and two flavours of the mp4 as well as a pdf of the transcript.

for a site with the motto 'the world is thinking' it's nice to know that someone finally has their head properly situated about their body in relation to the whole internet video thing.

them and the bbc. for instance - bbc signed a deal recently with youtube (as opposed to viacom which decided to use a lawsuit as a negotiating tactic) and in regards to questionable clips states:

"the BBC would not be hunting down all BBC-copyrighted clips already uploaded by YouTube members - although it would reserve the right to swap poor quality clips with the real thing, or to have content removed that infringed other people’s copyright, like sport, or that had been edited or altered in a way that would damage the BBC’s brand”. from here.

i always did like them blokes. real heads on their shoulders them.

anyways - here's mr. neil. enjoy.
