Turkey banning YouTube: See what hosting an online battle of insults between Greeks and Turks will get you? A ban on YouTube in Turkey, according to several reports. Not sure how much losing Turkish viewers will further delay Google’s plans to reap revenue from YouTube, but it certainly isn’t helping.
Mark Cuban subpoenas YouTube: Instead of costing his basketball team a technical, Mark Cuban turns referee and slaps a copyright-infringement foul on YouTube. But hey, nothing personal, Cuban says.
TiVo, Amazon go live with Unbox: Amazon’s video-on-demand leap to the TV set that we talked about previously is now out of beta and into the real world. Fly, little bird, fly!
