YouTube getting strict?

NUN-PUNCHER · 02-12-2007

I saw a news story that Youtube was getting alot of Flack for videos instructing people on how to break into a Car...Etc Etc....
I see alot of stuff on my Local news Chanel that details stuff like this, even more so, as well as give people ideas through their information.
Any fresh site such as YouTube ...Myspace...Kazaa, or whatever is like a day of class with a substiute teacher until it gets so out of control that the Principal comes in and takes over..

Its stupid that the record and video companies are going through all this trouble just to make their music or shows or whatever not able to be viewed by the public. If I watch a two minute clip of South Park on YouTube, what does that do? Makes me want to watch the show. It is basically free advertising (to a point.)

And with the music videos, all I have to do is go to AOL and watch whatever I want. Why can't I just do that on YouTube? It isn't like they are losing that much money from YouTube. Plus, I don't think that all of the high up people in these organizations wouldn't be able to survive without a few more dollars. So they have to buy a $14 million dollar house instead of a $15 million dollar one. Big deal. Meanwhile on this planet, there are actually people working hard for a living.

You must not understand what these big-heads for these major companies go through on a daily basis. Believe it or not, they put up with a lot of hassel and ******** every minute of everyday. Their job is harder than it seems, and they deserve every penny they bring in.

Well, I think clips would've been safe in the long run.
You can thank the people that put entire television show episodes and seasons on youtube, and the people that put entire movies on youtube.

The sad fact is, those '80s videos on YouTube are very hard to obtain on VHS or DVD, and are almost always never seen on TV.

It's a shame that so many videos are being removed from rotation, as they were very good quality (other sites I've seen have bad streaming).

Well there is still PutFile.com and ThatVideoSite that have yet to follow copyrights so that's where I usually go.

R.I.P. Youtube.

The only music videos I somewhat can understand are videos of the band playing, even though they still will overmask it with the album version of the song.

But on topic, I enjoy going to YouTube for the same exact reasons. To find clips and live concerts that arent played on TV, or hard to find. I haven't found to many clips that I enjoyed watching removed, but I bet they are still working on removing videos so who knows.

MTV shouldn't even be MTV anymore, there's no MUSIC on MUSIC TELEVISION. Maybe 3 hours of a 24 hour day on MTV is music, the rest is stupid "reality" shows(The Hills, Laguna Beach, ect..)

But I do think YT should be allowed to show videos from MTV and such, seeing as there are no music videos on MTV.
