The Natalie Portman gangsta rap segment from Saturday's episode got 438,000 views in about 24 hours on the video hosting Web site YouTube.com, according to the Web site.
The hit explosion came just a month after a satirical rap skit on SNL called "Lazy Sunday" drew scores of Internet viewers, and spurred renewed interest in the sagging comedy show.
NBC sent notice to YouTube -- among other sites -- that the clip should be removed, and the site immediately took it down, putting up a notice that the clip had violated copyright laws.
Critics say that NBC may have missed out on an incredible promotional opportunity by halting the illegal spread of the clip.
NBC says the Portman segment -- as well as "Lazy Sunday" -- is already available for free in non-downloadable streaming form on its Web site, and provides an option for users to email a link to the video to their friends.
And "Lazy Sunday" can also be downloaded for $1.99 from Apple's iTunes Store.
But though the Portman clip is available, TV and technology experts say it could be even more widespread, which would have given NBC TV a big popularity boost. |
