YouTube Delete a Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure

By Syl on Wednesday, August 13 2008, 11:33 - Tibetan issue

Some people did a very nice action just the night before the Olympic Games: they used the New York City Chinese's embassy wall as a projection support for show a pro-Tibetan video.

This video was available on YouTube, but after an pressure from the IOC, YouTube deleted the video. The official reason pushed by the IOC was a copyright violation:

That's ridiculous!

Hopefully we can still see this video on Vimeo. So watch it and get your friends aware of it!

FromTibet.com is openning his blog

At the begging we wanted to have a free speech corner for FromTibet.com, a place where everybody could discuss about our web site, Tibet, Buddhism, and so on.
To do so, we had opened a forum. Our main hope was to use this forum as an interaction with worldwide net users, and to provide also a place were Tibetan people could communicate.

Unfortunately our forum has been flooded by pro-Chinese messages, and became unusable ...
... we had no choose but to close it.

As an alternative we have decided to open this blog. We still hope that this will be a place of interaction, so please do not hesitate to add comments or even if you wish to become an author of this blog!

From my side I'll apologize in advance for my poor English skill, which may disappointing native speakers.

FromTibet.com ouvre son blog

Certain d'entre vous l'ont peu être connu, nous avions un forum ouvert à tous, içi. Nous espérions utiliser ce forum comme une place d'échange. Pour parler du Tibet, du Bouddhisme, de notre projet, et de bien d'autre chose.

Malheureusement, nous avons dû fermer le forum car un nombres de message massif pro-chinois commençaient a devenir bien trop encombrant... notre petit coin d'échange étant devenu une victime de la guerre de l'information chinoise.

Ce blog voit donc le jour, pour substituer notre forum victime du SPAM. Nous espérons que ça restera une place d'échange, et non un monologue agacent.

Le contenu sera hélas plus riche en Anglais, mais nous essaierons de maintenir des posts en français aussi.

J'en profit pour m'excuser d'avance en ce qui concerne les fautes d'orthographes et de grammaires, ça n'a jamais été mon fort ...
