Well, my dad knows very little about computers, but does use piratebay a lot, he's already figured out how to get around it with a quick google search.

At this rate it'll take me minus a month or more to get around it

Since BT haven't even implemented the block yet.

Beat that.

Actually, I think it shows an example of a media company / YouTube bot being over-zealous - not sure it proves anything (any more than some one providing an example of a downloader burning stuff to discs and selling them at a car boot sale 'proves' all downloaders do that....).

Has he thought of contacting NBC/Google, or would he rather just be a drama queen?

Guess you've totally missed the point then.

I couldn't find it, I only did a quick look through my history, but I saw something this week where some 'partner' of a major studio was actually issuing takedown notices for a film the studio they were working on behalf of were trying to promote.

I think the point I was trying to make was exceptions shouldn't be taken as rules, but I guess you missed that point....
