Firstly, Happy Halloween! Hope you all take the opportunity to have fun and fur it up on the one day a year that we'll all blend in with the other costumers out there!


Secondly - Got notification that my videos on Youtube were blocked worldwide due to the background music being played at the con being copyrighted content. I filed a dispute and the videos are available again (for now). I admit to being very frustrated at the way copyright and intellectual property infringement protections are going...as they are starting to spill over into the realm of no one being able to even upload any video with an incidental background clip of any music that one can purchase somewhere...or even songs that are playing on a TV in the background!

It's pretty silly and I think it's reaching levels of overkill. I'll be glad when things inevitably come back to a more reasonable compromise, but looks like I'll be fighting this stuff for a little while. There's music in the parade video too so no doubt I'll be having to file a dispute for that as well!

Anyway, wanted to get the parade online today but I've had some computer issues as well as typing out legal responses and such so perhaps tomorrow or later tonight?
