A quick, and final, update to the never ending saga of YouTube vs Thailand. YouTube, you'll remember, got blocked in Thailand because users posted clips ridiculing the Thai king (childish stuff like adding a clown nose) - that's illegal in Thailand and considered deeply offensive. YouTube attempted to pull the clips when notified, but the number of clips being posted only increased - Thailand later said they would sue YouTube for the offense.
