and, they're claiming that people that do get paid for ads should claim the revenue as "royalties", which suggests that youtube owns the content.

i'm going to advise that you don't upload your content to youtube anymore.

we'll see what happens, but something else i could do is migrate the videos from youtube to this blog, to avoid the ads on them.

youtube is now claiming the right to monetize your videos without paying you. it's outrageous.

if i start seeing ads on my channel, i'm going to have to pull the videos and put them up as dvd downloads at payhip, instead.

today's post is the fourth dvd full of flacs.

this is somewhat of a caricature, which often happens in history - you set these sides off against each other, and they tale on exaggerated representations. the caliphs did their share of repressing things, too. in fact, there was also a deep ethnic conflict at play, in that the decadent scientists were almost all kurds (of iranian ancestry), and the conservative/populist backlash was overwhelmingly semitic. and, this was largely the same dynamic that overthrew the persian empire in the first - indeed the sumerian empire, in the years leading up to sargon. that is a pattern of history in this part of the world, these periodic conservative semitic uprisings against the decadent invaders from the north, west or east. for that reason, i like to consider this more of a persian or even sumerian (via babylon) renaissance, rather than an islamic golden age. and, i don't think it's a coincidence that it's sole lasting influence is in astronomy.
