This was bound to happen sooner or later, but now it’s here. YouTube has been “muting” videos that use music by Warner Music Group, and sometimes making them completely unavailable.
Well this is not the fuckin show, but I covered the story on last week’s show. The righteous Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center cranked out a mini doc. outlining the exhibit/censorship/exhibit/censorship of Wafaa Bilal in Troy New York.
Hudson Mohawk Indymedia has produced a definitive account of the whirlwind of events surrounding Wafaa Bilal’s controversial art exhibit, "Virtual Jihadi." "Art ≠ Terrorism" goes beyond the sound bites to find out what happened when an Iraqi artist came to Troy, NY only to be censored–not once, but twice. First, Wafaa Bilal was chased off campus after his artwork was mis-characterized as terrorist propaganda by undergraduate bloggers. When the exhibition was given refuge by The Sanctuary for Independent Media, the city government responded by shutting down the space.
