Yahoo Slurp Makes a Mess
For months we’ve been carefully watching how the various bots consume Urbanspoon. We enticed them inside with fresh content, well constructed pages, and sitemaps. Despite our efforts, until quite recently Yahoo Slurp didn’t have much of an appetite for Urbanspoon. Instead of digging in and indexing the whole site, Yahoo Slurp preferred to nibble around the edges.

What Happens Without Safe Harbor Protections: ISP Deletes All User Multimedia Files
In the ongoing case of Viacom against Google, one of the keys is whether or not Google/YouTube have protection under the DMCA safe harbor provisions, which are supposed to protect service providers from the actions of their users. This is an important, because without those safe harbor provisions, the increase in liability would basically cripple all kinds of internet service providers. For an example, just look to Australia, where an ISP was found liable for content its users hosted, leading another ISP to delete all multimedia files hosted by its users every night (these are only the files hosted on their web accounts, not on their home computers, obviously).

BayImg - Pirate Bay Launches Uncensored Image Hosting
BayImg is an uncensored image hosting service. It is the latest side project from the folks who bring you the Pirate Bay. Users of the new service don’t have to sign-up in order to upload images. The site features the use of “removal codes” that allows users to delete their own files. The site also includes tags to categorize images. BayImg currently supports 100+ file formats, and supports uploading zip and rar archives. The maximum file size of uploads is 100MB.
Last month, the guys at the Pirate Bay shook things up a bit by announcing that they were developing a streaming video site. With no censorship or forced removal of video, the new video project could stand to become a direct competitor with YouTube. YouTube has been receiving lots of flak from TV corporations and movie studios for hosting copyrighted content and being slow to take it down.
