Be careful with that viral

In a rather disturbing development the Coolzor blog has been threatened with legal proceedings for posting TV ads on YouTube.

A drink driving commercial was named in the action against Coolzor which has resulted in suspension of his YouTube account for a year.

Makes you wonder how successful future viral campaigns will be if people are taken to task for forwarding and sharing ads.

Most puzzling of all is why spreading the word on drinking and driving is considered a crime not a public service. Hmmm?
