I was trying to post clips made available from Fox News earlier today since it’s obvious they don’t want me recording and uploading their content to youtube. I decided to oblige them and just use their material.
But the clips wouldn’t post. I investigated and found they are blocking me in their code from video.foxnews.com!
The embed code looks like this:
I took the actual source link itself and pasted it in the address bar of my browser:
Go ahead, click the link above. It outputs their code with my domain in it (‘therightscoop’):
I’m not a javascript expert, but my guess is that the above is saying not to embed the video if the domain is therightscoop. Dang, I guess I really pissed them off!
I wonder if they knew I would find this? hmmmm.
