.... hitting fan
I'm still surprised at how much trouble you Ames fellas have stirred up. I'm curious as to who first sicked the press on the story as well as a wondering who contacted Youtube to block it. Though glancing now at their TOS I'm seeing they have a pretty open-out written in. I've heard of people getting hit with DMCA requests more often and didn't know they had this. Probably only took an email from an ISU extension to get it pulled down.
Amazing really to think that nothing would have happened if they just let it slide by. Also found them talking about you in the Chronicle of Higher Education forum.
Opinions all over the place seem to be highly divided, and some are just standard internet bitching. So regardless of whatever else comes out of this you dastardly TA's have started discussions all over the place in academics. Ran into an ISU English Prof last week that I didn't realize I knew from another context. She seemed to think I should apply again. After all this I'm largely thinking I have posters that would be better wall hangings than another document from an educational institute. Never expected it would be colleges that would turn me off to organized learning environments. I seem to be tangenting, knew I should have gone to bed sooner.
Anyhow, good luck working through this ...whatever this is now. I'd have to say try to not stomp on more toes and becareful that you don't go and say something that really can come back and bite you. The videos are out there and being scrutinized. I can't say I remember anything too damning in them. But in their defense don't say something to give the other side something they can run with. As you'd said earlier, you are almost graduated and back to having to deal with the non-academic. Its probably not good to have hostile references behind you for whereever you are going next. I'd side with you, just watch your backs.
