Friday Fights! DRM vs History! And the winner is? None.

This is not a rant on the chilling effect of DRM & its muscle boy DMCA. I am just too tired to shout at a rock I did not see as I walked through the forest of video upload limitations. So there it is, 1 long day of slow H.264 compressing, recompenses, upload click-thru legal stiff and wait for the gate to open on the video site. RIGHT!

Finally here is the Test Video that is far from good. Hay, got too find the rocks before cracking a toe on one.
