Almost anything I try to see anymore on you tube is now removed due to mega corporate copywrite claims.

The 15 second clip owned by a mega corp is now going to get milked for every cent elsewhere and as a result we all stop looking.

Now, Donuel, you can still listen to this Barry Sisters Medley and lots of other commercial recordings. What is being deleted that's causing you consternation?
I thought YouTube had a deal with the music corporations that allowed posting of at least some copyrighted stuff.

There's still a ton of Shatner stuff. You don't know what you're missing.

I've not had a problem, yet.

Washington, Oct 16: Media companies can now block their copyrighted video contents that were loaded onto YouTube without seeking any prior permission.
        
"Video ID service, which has been beta-tested by Disney and Time Warner, will give media companies the option of blocking their copyrighted content from the site or requesting that YouTube split advertising revenue with them," Variety.com reported.

If I want to see the SNL clip of Fred Thompson or a Daily show segment or a Letterman top 10

access is denied and is explained that it is removed due to copywrite law.

Frankly I never really understood fair use but now things are vanishing as fast as a coproration pays to have them removed.

You clearly can't be looking at the same things on YouTube as I am, Donuel.

When I first saw this title I thought it was about erectile dysfunction.

Donuel, I just typed in "Letterman top 10" and dozens of them came up, ready to be viewed.

Perhaps some clarification of what's happening at YouTube?

YouTube unveils anti-piracy protection

Owners of copyrighted video can block their material from appearing

It appears that YouTube is only "cooperating" with those who don't want their material posted. It seems to REQUIRE that the ones claiming copyright have to provide samples and formally request that the specific samples submitted be blocked.

(See also thread: Comcast blocks Users - and see the post immediately before the Comcast link for a chuckle.)

However, the whole string of How Movies Should Have Ended is pretty funny!
