..something along the lines that we live in a world where digitalization of music is ubiquitous..and it is hard to make a romantic clip about "stealing" (are we?) mp3s..

There was once a time when people loved the recording medium of music itself..

Thanks. Yes, another contribution to the semantic web;) Keep up the good siftin'

TY!

Aha, TBH, To Be Honest, nice one. TINA means There Is No Alternative, yes, maybe a bit uncommon..

So far regio-blocking is still quite a marginal phenomenon, so it's probably not so high on the priority list concerning the improvement of this site. Yes, implementation of such a pool is not unproblematic. We'll see.

Anxiously waiting what VS has in store in the near future..
The "web 2.0" - in general - is moving fast these days.

(What is TINA?)

Finding a replacement is certainly the neighborly thing to do. But I'm not sure it's a viable long term solution. Well, maybe the pool idea could be. It's pretty interesting, but it brings up some complexities - vote counts, what regions, how to determine what's blocked etc. It's better than what I suggested though, and just about anything would be better than doing nothing.

TBH, I'm not sure it matters though, as I don't think the site itself has long term viability.

Hi Jonny!
yes, something needs to be done. Mostly, the easiest solution is to find the video hosted by a hosting site which is NOT regio blocking the video, if TINA
maybe a regio-block pool - collecting videos that are tagged regio-blocked - may be an option. Just like the dead pool one can help as a member by finding a non-region-blocked version of the video. What do you think?

Ok, now let's *discuss what status region blocked videos should have.

First, can someone for whom this appears dead click through to youtube to confirm region blocking?

Second, as I've written multiple times before, this is only going to get worse, and for VS to ban entire video hosts for this is absurd. I really think we need a more sophisticated solution.

Is there any way to detect region blocking server-side? Perhaps that could be used to invalidate embed code upon submission? I don't really like that answer either, but I can't come up with anything else at the moment.

I'm afraid I'm not, but eclectech would be an interesting person (Nice clip! Thanks for noticing to have on the sift. We need more eclecticism! And absurdistic black humour. And..

To Eklek: who has time to bake their own bread?

Wohoo! Thanks for the final vote, the post has a long history, and glad the clip made you happy today:) gr.Eklek

I agree. I'd love to see a sift featuring a well choreographed dance on techno/electronica, let me know when you find one..:)

In reply to this comment by doogle:
That may be dancing, but he ain't no dancer. No choreography. No message despite that he really likes the music and can't wait for some eyes on him at a club.

Hi! Glad you liked this dark choral video as you said it's nice how the lyrics are put more to the front in this video.

“I like this more than I liked the original. I never realized how poetic these lyrics are translated.

Thanks for posting this.”
