Not like they can put a filter up to stop people from doing it, even with all those people working on Youtube they can't stop that.

Idiots I hope those money hungry assholes lose.

These people really need to chill. Please do not take away my precious youtube!

I tend to think it might help them as a marketing tool if they allow YouTube to have their videos up, may lead people to pick up their stuff, or watch their shows. Heck, Marvel had YouTube ask me to remove the DVD cap I did of the Classic TMNT ad because it came from Ultimate Avengers. That's right I was asked to remove a commercial that Lionsgate put on a DVD because I mentioned that the source was UA on DVD.

Ive had a lot of stuff get deleted off of Youtube, sadly.

Like no one saw this coming? A money hungry corporation holding on to a semi-obsolete medium wondering why the hell no ones giving them buttloads of money, but not doing anything to try to embrace a new medium at all?

I mean, these companies CAN try to compete with Youtube by making their OWN sites with their OWN programming available for download. ABC is doing it, CBS (oddly enough owned by Viacom, which made deals with Youtube) is doing it.

Anyway, Wake me up when it becomes "America's Funniest Videos" the web site. That seems to be the direction they're going in.

Funny... you can put mid-core porn and Al Queda training videos up on there, but try to put a full episode of Mighty Mouse the New Adventures when the company doesn't want anything to do with it and the dogs are released with lawyers and assassins behind them. Kinda like how Boston can shut itself down to take off pictures of cartoon characters, but can't seem to curb the violence in Dorchester.
