It’s funny that the first place I go for clips of funny stuff from TV are sites like YouTube. I don’t even bother checking a network’s website because I don’t expect they’ll be smart enough to put it online.
NBC has apparently figured out that some of the SNL sketches are making their way YouTube, and have started sending out cease-and-desist letters regularly to get them to remove clips that show up. Incredibly, in addition to doing this they’ve started to post these videos on their own site. There’s a lesson to be learned here: while the internet may not care about copyright, it does care about quality stuff. If networks were smarter, they’d work out how to walk that line between so-called piracy and free advertising.
