MTV Bleeps File Sharing Software Out Of Music Videos
From Mike Masnick / Techdirt:
MTV’s new video hosting site is apparently bleeping out the names of file sharing sites in Weird Al Yankovic’s famous 2006 song “Don’t Download This Song.” The opening verse to the song goes as follows:
Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
To break international copyright law
By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA
Yet, in that new MTV version, the last line is “Like *BLEEP* or *BLEEP* or *BLEEP* or *BLEEP*” rather than naming the four file sharing programs.
