A Friend on the YouTube Debate

As I worked on my note about YouTube and the fair use doctrine, I found that one of the biggest hurdles was the perception that YouTube was, to borrow the words of Newton Minow, a "vast wasteland." People saw it exclusively as a depository of "stolen" content and prank videos.

The public perception of YouTube is changing, though, thanks to things like the recent debate. I think YouTube is gaining some credibility, and you can be sure I'll bank on that as I revise my note.

On to the real point of the post: a friend of mine had his question about nuclear power answered during the debate. You can see his original video and his thoughts about the candidates response, and check out the response of Obama, Clinton, and Edwards below.
