'Round And 'Round


I've often wondered why pirated karaoke videos so rarely show up on YouTube: After all, the only elements you need to put your clip online is an old karaoke laserdisc, some format-conversion software, and a living situation that lends itself to boredom. But it looks as YouTube is taking its copyright-watchdog obligations seriously: I spotted this thumbnail after a "karaoke" search, and sure enough, it had already been pulled for "terms of use violation." Which means that somebody's monitoring the situation and making sure the videos are taken down.

Either that, or YouTube suspended this guy for flagrant moniker misspelling. It's 2007—who the hell doesn't know how to spell "Lionel Richie"? His daughter's, like, totally famous!
