More like they have to remove the content before Youtube face litgation from those that have rights to the content.
Im pretty sure some big media firm has a multi million dollar lawsuit out against Youtube although the name escapes me. If the content is owned by someone and Youtube havent got permmision to screen the content then it cant be played and they face fines and lengthy lawsuits. Its as much a blessing as it is a curse. Why do you think all the old PRIDE fights are gone from there.. :twisted:
Youtube people are *******s. I remember I had some nice videos on my channel, so I descided one day to record Poland vs some country football Euro qualifier highlights and goals..... Them ***s deleted my account and all my videos.... I emailed them and asked for my account back but they never responded.
