I thought this was an interesting article about, in the most basic sense, what is acceptable for sharing on youtube and what isn't for the public to see. I found this article especially interesting because the video in question (that was later removed from youtube), according to the man who posted the video, had some serious and unflattering dialogue with controversial racial undertones from the administrators in this particular Evanston school meeting.

Really interesting piece, Emily. The basic premise seems pretty clear, it's an open and public meeting, and theoretically it feels like it should be available in public domain, but then the legalese gets jumbled in and all of a sudden copyright (really? copyright?) gets invoked. I wonder if this would have been the case if the content didn't seem to touch on controversy?
