Title: YouTube video on coconut crabs uses TIGHAR video of the pig experiment
Post by: Martin X. Moleski, SJ on November 15, 2023, 03:59:49 AM

"Why Don’t They Eat Millions of Coconut Crabs in Japan?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAxRtN-3938&t=569s)

This video twice uses the time-lapse video of the taphonomy experiment carried out on Niku in 2007.

I didn't have time to finish watching the video nor to read the comments section to see whether they gave TIGHAR credit.  They do talk about the Niku hypothesis and show a map of the island briefly.

Thanks Marty.  Interesting video. They use a very brief clip of TIGHAR footage.  It qualifies as "fair use."  No problem.

Agreed.


I do wish, as a kindness, that they had given some kudos to TIGHAR.


That's life on the internet!
