Summary: New video about the Alcatel-Lucent/Microsoft patent dispute

WE WERE NOT able to produce an Ogg version of the following report, which relates to what was covered a fortnight ago.

About a month ago, YouTube (Google) began denying the downloading/grabbing of some videos. Are there any infallible solutions that are known? Google appears to be moving goalposts again. ⬆

After the video from youtube has been fully buffered, go to /tmp and look for a file whose name begins with Flash (then there are some random numbers and letters in the file name, with out extension). It's the buffered movie in flv format.
