No YouTube Clips For You!

As you may have heard by now, YouTube has started to remove "Comedy Central" clips from their site.

I don't want to get into an argument about copyright laws, but this seems kind of a dumb move to me. First, Comedy Central's video viewing site sucks ass, so it's not like people will now be going over there to watch stuff. And second, most of the time, it was just clips from their shows that were making it to YouTube, which seems like nothing but free publicity to me. People see the clip, think "Me want more!" and then either watch the show on TV, or venture over to the Comedy Central site in a (usually fruitless) quest to see more.
