Take Down Stay Down – MySpace Fights Video Reposts

"Take Down Stay Down" might sound like a new wrestling move but it's actually a new anti-piracy feature instituted by MySpace, the social networking giant, to dissuade users from reposting videos that have already been removed once off MySpace at the request of the copyright owner. This is only one of a variety of copyright protection features instituted by MySpace and other social networking sites aimed at preventing to upload bootlegged music, video and other content.

Perhaps books aren't dead yet?
