News: It's hard to keep track of all the earth-shattering news on this April 1st. Smosh -- the No.1 amateur creators on YouTube -- have posted this video describing the $20 million copyright lawsuit they face for their Pokemon music video, which had received millions of views before being removed after a DMCA notice sent to YouTube by the copyright owner to Pokemon.
Analysis: The hilarious part of this saga is that THE source about the initial removal of Smosh's video from YouTube for alleged copyright infringement was none other than The Utube Blog (because I'm the kind of guy to obsess about any copyright YouTube controversy). My blog post was then linked to by Wikipedia, which today has driven a lot of traffic to my site given the Smosh video. Thanks, Smosh!
