Humorless Metalheads Shut Down Popular YouTuber:
Three humorless guitar heroes who were lampooned in a series of YouTube “shredding” videos have had the clips pulled offline after citing copyright infringement.
What really stinks here has nothing to do with copyright laws or ridiculously luddite guitarists. No, the tragedy is that I previously posted a crap-your-pants-laughing video by the guy who created the shredder videos, and now my embedded U-tube clip is dead.
UPDATE: If you’ haven’t yet seen them, and wonder what the fuss is about, Wired has made the shredding series available at their site.
