Now, I’m pretty sick and tired of trying to figure out what on the ‘net is either public domain, limited copyright, or protected-from-any-viewing-at-all by copyright ( see NBC ).  One that really takes the cake IMO is Bowie’s first official video for Space Oddity.  If you try to view it on youtube, it’s copyprotected from US viewers.  But, apparently it’s not copyprotected from the rest of the world.  However, if you want to view it, embed it, or link it, you’re more than free  to do so from MTV’s site:

So which is it? Is it copyprotected or not? Why is it OK for sub-Saharan peeps to watch it but not for US peeps? Go figure that one. And, since I try to a very small degree to respect SOME copyrights that don’t gestapo something to obscurity by promoting a product they won’t, I’ll just stick with the MTV link until I assume the copyright gestapo decides it’s better for us to watch it than it would be for them protecting themselves from actually making some money by selling the song to people not familiar with this very old stuff.
