Venezuelan channel faces fine for airing Simpsons

A Venezuelan TV station faces punishments that include a fine and a three-day broadcasting blackout for airing The Simpsons during prime-time child-viewing hours. Government regulators have opened an investigation into Televen, the National Telecommunications Commission -- also known as Conatel -- said Tuesday night in announcing the inquiry. One option, the commission said, could be forcing Televen to show programs chosen by the agency in place of regular programming. The probe began three months after Conatel warned Televen about the show, saying that The Simpsons could be a harmful influence on Venezuelan children. Two weeks ago, the Televen station took the satirical cartoon series off the air after receiving a warning from the commission. It replaced The Simpsons with the live-action Baywatch Hawaii, featuring scantily clad lifeguards, in the 11 a.m. time slot -- a time approved by all viewers. The channel said that Baywatch Hawaii has not drawn complaints. In a statement, commission director Elda Rodriguez said that the agency had urged Televen in January not to show The Simpsons in that time slot, but that the channel did not comply. Rodriguez complained of "inappropriate language" and scenes "that can influence the behavior and education of boys, girls and adolescents." Spokeswoman Elba Guillen said Wednesday that Televen will keep The Simpsons off the air while the case is being considered. The channel is waiting for more information from the agency, she said.

Google Video Gets Updated Again

Google Video's existence continues to be a bit of a mystery; after Google paid $1.65 billion for YouTube, you'd think the company would be able to concentrate on just it. Still, users of Google Video are likely to be happy about a new redesign.
Updated Google Video
The fresh version is all about "Hot videos" - these featured clips are pretty much the only things visible on the homepage. Click on any of them, and instead of opening in a new page, they'll start playing on the left.
Google's got a few more tricks up its sleeve, too. On the Google Video Blog, Greg Billock writes, "Now you can choose any of three ways to view your video search-results: a traditional list view, a grid view and, for those of you who like to maximize your video-watching efficiency, a TV view, where you can watch an embedded video while continuing to view your search results next to the video for a more seamless browse and search experience."

YouTube Rolls Out New Policy Changes Relaxes penalties against violators

YouTube says it is changing the way it deals with users who violate its community guidelines.The video sharing site says it will no longer treat users "who uploads three videos that violate the Community Guidelines over the span of a year the same as someone who uploads those same videos over the course of a week."YouTube says its new policy will lift penalties against users who violated its terms of use after six months and that "Accounts that had one or two warnings (as of April 16, 2008) for Community Guidelines (or Terms of Use) violations have been given a clean slate." The new rules do not apply to copyright violations, which do not expire.

YouTube is also experimenting with the way it handles users who violate its community guidelines. "What we've come up with is to temporarily mute users, so that they can still use the site and watch videos, but they can't post new content.""Right now it is set up to affect users who have two Community Guidelines warnings in a six-month period and will last two weeks
