Brutal Edits [Update to MTV Vlog]

YOU MAY RECALL a vlog I did recently in the service of my Citizen Journalism gig with MTV called Brutal Questions (Tazing Ian), on the recent brutal (multiple) tazing of a 19 year old student who was participating in some street-theater type activism. It was a follow up to Tazing Eugene, where I documented some of the local reaction to the first use of a Taser gun on a citizen here in Eugene, Oregon.
Viacom will not allow me to make YouTube references in these videos as they have a lawsuit against YouTube. This is a lawsuit I do NOT agree with. Nonetheless, I was bound by contract to follow the instructions, and more important than that bind, I see better ways to further the information dissemination for truth agenda and fight for these principles than making a specific stand on those edits.
Stick a tack in this thought, I'll come back to it in a day or so.
Here is the new edit. There are now blurred out images and a URL, and I did an ADR (audio overdub of dialogue) over one line, which may not fool lip-readers, but satisfied the request to edit out my aural reference to YouTube.
You can find my reasons for disapproving of the edit in the first graf of this post.
