Once again ABS-CBN sends a DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice for a video they don’t own - again. It was for a video of Filipina import model Sharon Sotto. I doubt she’s an ABS-CBN “talent”. If she is, I’m wrong and oh well.

This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by ABS-CBN Interactive claiming that this material is infringing:

How did this happened? It’s probably a blanked search on tags. The video had ABS-CBN, Sotto and etc tagged, so it must mean that it’s their video. That’s the problem with these blanket removals. One day, they will remove someones video that will fight back. ABS-CBN is still retarded in playing the Youtube game.
Other videos were not removed….
Pinoy unoriginality at it’s finest. If we are so “galing”, why do we have to copy another show? Can anyone guess what this is ripping off?

Considering the Philippines is the 2nd most dangerous country for journalists only behind Iraq, when will the 1st Pinoy blogger be killed? With the recent launch of GMA’s blog network, blogging’s popularity will increase. I also expect ABS-CBN to also follow with their own blog network.
Are Pinoy “shock” bloggers such as BryanBoy at risk? What about the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism bloggers? I have received a few death threats.
