RedLasso folds under legal pressure from networks!
Not surprised, but sad. I know VS has a bunch of clips from there.

"To Our Loyal Users:
We would like to thank you for your continued support of Redlasso. You have been essential to making Redlasso a household name online. Unfortunately, due to the legal actions taken against Redlasso by two networks, we are left with no alternative but to suspend access to our video search and clipping Beta site FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. The networks have provided a big blow to the blogger community’s right to exercise the first amendment and comment on newsworthy events. It is anti-Web. During this service suspension, we will continue our conversations with content providers, with the goal of establishing formal partnerships that will quickly help us restore access to the Beta site.
For our business and Radio To Web clients, Redlasso will continue to operate and provide those services to you without interruption.
Again, thank you.
REDLASSO"

Definitely saw that one coming. I remember there was a great site about 8 years ago that was based in Canada- all it did was encode US TV broadcasts for viewing directly on the Internet. They claimed some Canadian law exemption. It lasted about 6 months ...
Eventually that membrane that separates the Internet and TV will be broken. And TV shall be devoured mercilessly by the Internet. So sayeth I.
