How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube
sqgl@sh.itjust.works · 37 pts · 188d
Yes but if the presenters didn't mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.

I have noticed this often when someone gets booed. Pretty obvious when you are there but not on video. As an audio nerd it has me perplexed.
Scrollone@feddit.it · 21 pts · 188d
I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn't make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can't even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.
sqgl@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 188d
I don't know how one would mask it Maybe the crowd is totally overdubbed. I cannot find phone recordings. Are all phone uploads of the event being rejected by YouTube?
Scrollone@feddit.it · 9 pts · 187d
It's not hard to mask them, just lower the microphones from the audience or play something else instead

You can't find anything on youtube these days. Uploads from ordinary people don't appear in search results. They're crowded out by the mainstream. It was called youtube for a reason. It isn't that anymore.
Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 188d
It's all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it's not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I'd bet there's a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.
Jajcus@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 187d
I am sure thet had more than a single microphone. So it is most probably all about the mix. Include crowd noises only when that is convenient.

If only there hadn’t been almost 300 years of testimony and evidence of the horror…

ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

You’ll have that when the brown shirts knock on your door. Until then I get you can keep joking about it, because it isn’t happening to you (yet).

Makes me think they're there to scan the entire stadium and upload it to their new tracking database

Most countries send a policing presence to major international sporting tournaments.
foggenbooty@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 187d
Yeah? Their specialised immigration police? Interesting, I didn't know that. /s
ohulancutash@feddit.uk · -2 pts · 187d
Considering many of the issues would relate to customs or international travel, then yes there is often a customs/immigration element.
Randomgal@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 187d
Why? You at in a different country. Why would you send YOUR immigration agents. That's like bringing your own chef to a restaurant you don't own.
Watch some recording of the Olympics when the Nazis were still around and your realize why ICE is there.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk · -2 pts · 187d
Why? Because there are people arriving from around the world, and this quickly overwhelms local policing.

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 188d
They don't control my tivo recordings.
Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.
With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.
They can use your tv's smart functions to literally track your behavior.
They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.
They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.
I'm not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it's "fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again".
See......humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.
Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.
Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.
And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don't buy a smart tv. Don't buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!
nforminvasion@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 188d
I always have my "smart" TV disconnected from internet, and I run my media viewing through the steam deck in desktop mode, but any Linux computer will work just as fine. Then I employ some high sea villainy and boom, set to coast.
MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 188d
TiVo.. now that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time. they still around?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 188d
I bought lifetime subscription 10+ years ago. It still updates the guide, but they stopped selling hardware.
Which is a shame. I like Tivo.
MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 187d
this little guy?
my family had a TiVo box back in 1999. probably one of the first DVRs to market.
my dad even hooked up a 2nd coax satellite line because you could record on one and watch the other. shit was wild!
a time where you could fast forward commercials instead of paying for them.
W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 187d
I give it another year before they stop the guide updates.

Yep! I got a nice one. It's 10+ years old now, but I got a new bulb in the box, waiting for my current bulb (which IS dying) to finally go.

No I'm sorry this is strictly on NBC and American fragility. Streams of the Olympics in all other countries didn't mess with audio. I heard Israel being booed as well as America.

ianal but I'm pretty sure dmca wouldn't apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 13 pts · 188d
Problem is that fair use doesn't prevent a dmca takedown. It doesn't really matter until you go to court and prove it, unfortunately. These takedowns are functioning exactly as designed, allowing for easy corporate censorship with minimal repercussions for abuse.

Love the Streisand effect. I had no idea there was footage of this cabbage patch chimp getting booed at the Olympics until they blocked it 😆
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 39 pts · 187d
In Canada we don't censor that sort of stuff so watching the CBC stream was funny. All applause then the couch pest showed up and the entire stadium mood changed. Americans truly don't realize they are jokes outside of their country.

Like Israel at Eurovision. They had all the anti-booing on the streams, but some of it was still slipping through and Graham was like "I don't know what you can all hear at home, but this definitely an energetic reception" 😆

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?
ohulancutash@feddit.uk · 16 pts · 188d
They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.
bob_lemon@feddit.org · 10 pts · 187d
Because the US didn't have enough actual police officers they could bring?
themurphy@lemmy.ml · 19 pts · 187d
Because the police is employed by states and the country. ICE is their private army, and obeys their master.
No difference than officers having red armbands in the 1930's.

Copyright is a compromise, not an absolute. It has all kinds of provisions for things like commentary, public interest etc which generally speaking does allow short clips of a greater work.
