We have vast banks of TiVos and staffers trained to use them to feed us material from the magic lightning box called television for use on this internet. But sometimes (often!) we use the amazing gift from god called RedLasso. Not anymore! NBC and Fox joined forces (inspiring!) to sue them. And now RedLasso is back to being "a business-targeted service that lets clients track and clip content for internal use and a service for radio stations that lets them upload their clips for online sharing." Sigh. This is why the internet can't have nice things. [NYT]
