It was always possible to upload legal stuff. E.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btVGCqpIoyk&fmt=22 is probably legal as
it was made entirely be the author (ok we have only his word for it).
But your reaction sort of supports my point, thanks.

Well, yes, I'm sure all those videos of "hey I filmed this dude totally
trip over a banana skin with my camera phone" are probably legal. (I.e.,
the videos that no sane person would watch.)
> But your reaction sort of supports my point, thanks.
Heh. The videos of "hey I filmed this concert I went to" are presumably
*not* legal... And then there's the fact that just about every movie
ever made can be found on YouTube somewhere. And then we get to Why is
the Rum Gone? and it's ilk...

You can't. That's what sucks about the Bourne convention.

Japanese? Quenya I knew, since I own that disc (and the films), but I
didn't know about Spanish and Loxian (I don't even know where that is
from - off to Google it - ah, and I have that album too). But where does
she use Japanese, Spanish, and Welsh?

You have mentioned this one or two times before ;)
Because you are from the Lowlands every English speaker expects you to
be fully fluent in several languages. (A complement BTW) But I’m sure
that we won’t go to war over it (again :-P)
> BTW how did Ellen become Henri?
When Miss Ellen Price married Mr. Henry Wood she became known as Mrs.
Henry Wood. This was the accepted practice in England in the early 19th
century (and even later).
