In a surprising twist to the Pirates versus Ninjas the MPAA story, the FBI and MPAA have joined forces to train a special group of Swedish anti-piracy police. Techdirt raises some important questions regarding this move, not the least of which is “How will the Ninjas and the Robots react to this move by the MPAA?”
First of all, which part of the “botching” required this response? Perhaps it’s the collateral damage issue — but, if that’s the case, why would the MPAA be involved at all? Even more importantly, why are the Swedish police taking its lessons from a private entity that is clearly biased, has been consistently wrong about the impact of piracy (remember when it insisted that VHS tapers were the Boston Strangler to the movie industry?) and doesn’t follow its own rules anyway? On top of that, why then is the FBI helping the MPAA if this is really a civil dispute rather than a criminal one?

And the award for the most concise definition of Digg goes to…Scott Karp!
Digg is the apotheosis of niche media — of the niche, by the niche, and for the niche. Never has another media company so perfectly captured the interests and ethos of one defined group of people — in Digg’s case, under 25, male, liberal, interested in tech…
If you look at the list of top 10 stories from which Scott derives his definition, it’s abundantly clear that the communities interests lie in technology news, how-to’s, offbeat news, and liberal news.
…no single editor could compile such a perfect list. Digg could not be further afield from a mainstream audience, but for the Digg niche, it is perfection.
Perfection, while it may be for the niche, this also means that Digg has little chance to expand beyond this niche and become mainstream. At least not without irking the niche.
Beautiful words Mr. Karp.

Here are some interesting stories regarding YouTube.
Exemplifying the democratization of online media, the top YouTube videographers descended on San Francisco for a meet and greet.
YouTube is at odds with the media industry again, this time over the company’s policy over anti-piracy software licencing.
A new website called Mytuber allows you to search for YouTube videos and automatically insert them into your MySpace profile.
The lady that gained fame through YouTube under the moniker of ‘Lonelygirl15’ is starring in a movie with Lindsay Lohan. <sarcasm>
The media is still trying to determine whether this is a step up or down. </sarcasm>
