Want to watch that clip that got passed around the Internet on Monday afternoon of Zach Galifianakis doing "Between Two Ferns" with NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, which he conducted live over the weekend at the Nantucket Film Festival? Sorry you missed it. You may have to wait until Funny or Die decides to upload its own clip. If it even decides to do so.
Because Funny or Die is serious about owning its content, and Monday night slapped a copyright infringement on the person who uploaded a clip from it on YouTube. And so the war between comedians and audience members with cameras continues…
Not that I mind at all, but FOD regularly puts copyrighted material (see: dozens of old SNL sketches and digital shorts) up on their site. Seems odd to see them flip on their “copyright-schmopyright” stance.
