Did they remove you or you willfully deleted your account? I had an anti Barry Bonds vid removed from them a while back. And most recent they removed a vid I made of the Vince Young run versus the Texans (I'm sure most around here are glad that happened). Plus a Hulk Hogan Wrestlemania video! At least they give out notices now saying some of the reasons they did it. Back then they'd just reject clips and never give specifics as to why. It was my main gripe about youtube for a while. A friend of mine, with no notice or warning or previous offense, got his account deleted out of the blue. For videos they found 'objectionable' - A dancehall contest of girls dancing and grinding to reggae. When there's tons tons equal to and WORSE all over youtube! - girls on web cams, girls doing dirty stuff in the club, wet t-shirts, Howard Stern, all kinds of raunch. Of course he needed to email them so he could get an explanation, with the reasons being that inconsistent bunch of baloney. Thing is no one knows all the freaking copyright rules and no one's ever checked, even them. I'm not against them banning or removing content, just upset they didn't do that from the very first before letting it blow up like it has.
http://today.reuters.com/news/artic...TRUKOC_0_US-VIACOM-YOUTUBE.xml&src=rss&rpc=23 Viacom demands YouTube pull down videos Fri Feb 2, 2007 10:58 AM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Viacom Inc. has demanded that Google Inc.'s online video service YouTube pull down all of its video clips after they failed to reach an agreement, the company said. About 100,000 video clips from Viacom-owned properties including MTV Networks and BET has been asked to be removed. Viacom said its pirated programs on YouTube generate about 1.2 billion video streams, based on a study from an outside consultant.
Mario Williams: Texans Difference Maker? Perhaps they took the video down because of false advertising...
Don't worry; killing file sharing on the internet always has a hydra effect. The first one gets too big, American entertainment companies kill it with lawyers, and shortly after, there are ten other services just like it. One or two of them gets big, get killed, and then there are ten more, and so on and soforth.
3 more of my videos removed by Youtube today with more to follow probably. Videos with the MTV or VH-1 logo on it (VH-1 is part of MTV Networks, running under Viacom). Enjoy the music videos on there while you can!
Someone should open up a new "you tube" in China or another country where copyrights are not recognized.... They would make a bundle ! DD
Ofcourse, in such countries where copyrights are not recognized, it wouldn't be that hard for the government to decide what ever business model you created is something the state would like to adopt aswell. Look at google in China, Baidu pwns google mostly because of government support, and I really don't see google winning that fight.
Just upload them again to another video site and we will all be happy! YouTube is seriously going downhill since Google bought it because they have to comply more and more with copyright violations as they become bigger.
