Mike Seidle ...notes from the road

There's a reason people like using the internet and it's not premium, name brand, video content. It's that the internet is one of the few places we've got the freedom thing right. Here's what happens when you do it wrong: the internet just routes around you.  And in this case, you happens to be the most connected country in the world:
YouTube users in Korea are no longer able to upload new videos or comment on existing ones. The changes come in response to a the country's recent Cyber Defamation Law. Comments and Uploads Disappear From YouTube Korea - AppScout

It will be interesting to see if other major content sites pull out over this law, which requires sites with over 100,000 users be able to identify members.  Good luck with that.
