For those of us that can't view the video, can you give a quick run down as to what's going on?

There's a widespread abuse of 'fair use' on youtube. 

For instance, if a movie critic uploads a re-view on youtube, it should be expected that the re-view would feature clips from the movie in question. The use of these clips is transformative in nature, and therefore falls under fair use. However, many companies and individuals have flagged these videos for illegal use of copyrighted material and gotten the videos taken down. More childish studios have used this as a means of removing all negative re-views, only allowing positive ones to remain.

That's just one example of how fair use has been flagrantly ignored on youtube, there are many more.

Basically, the video is informing us that the copyright office is looking for feedback on the DMCA. It's an opportunity for people that have been frustrated with the way it's been abused to make their voices heard. The link to do this is below:

Shame on you for telling us one day before the end.

You realize it was essentially hidden from everyone, right? The feedback period was placed to coincide with April Fool's Day, and the non-profit organization that broke the news was sure to be constantly on the lookout for this.
