Fair Use

AP says it will set its own, "clear," fair use standards

The AP has sent an overreaching letter asking the Drudge Retort to take down quotations of its content, backpedaled, then announced it will propound its own version of fair use on all of us. We'll see what they come up with, but the chances are it will be a similarly overreaching.

UnPlug Firefox Extension

From the site:

UnPlug is an extension which lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage - it's a video download tool.

UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file.

UnPlug works for lots of sites including youtube.com, ifilm.com, current.tv, revver.com, peekvid.com, video.google.com, mobuzztv.com and lots, lots more.

Unlike many other extensions, UnPlug scans the page, and if it doesn't know there the data comes from it can guess - correctly most of the time.

Screencast-o-Matic

From the site:

Screencast-O-Matic is the free and easy way to create a video recording of your screen (aka screencast) and upload it for free hosting all from your browser with no install!
