One of the things that’s always comforted me about putting my videos online is the power I maintain to remove them. Any of them. At any time. Whether they’re on YouTube, Revver or Google Video.

Then I saw this report below from Google Video. Nearly 300,000 people have viewed my “Google Earth: Has it Gone Too Far” on Google Video. Sure it’s a little unsettling to know your most viral video features your butt crack. But way more upsetting is the fact that more than 4,400 people have the video downloaded somewhere. And two of these downloaders have uploaded the same video as their own, meaning I’d have a helluva time “cleansing the net” of this one.

So much for my future in politics.
