...seriously, this whole thing where they've taken off some videos is becoming annoying, if not frustrating.
Not only has it rendered my favourites close to useless but there's no indication that a video HAS been taken off. AND these same videos still show up on searches.
Man I hate YouTube...

No, the thing that annoys me is that even bands' official YouTube channels have been taking stuff off. I thought it was the record companies' who were making their mouths go, not the bands?

Like the other day, I was searching for the video to Circus by Britney Spears - the video uploaded by her official channel appears 3 times on the first page of search results. This would be fine if her official video channel was available in my country. However its not, which means that the first page of results is half full of videos which I can't watch.
And for some reason, even if I change my default country to England, it doesn't filter out videos which aren't available in my country - stupid, methinks...

My sons make silly videos and stop-motion type projects with their friends to post on youtube, they've actually had the background music blocked out by youtube on several now.. the same songs that you can search for and play all day long.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: West Midlands, U.K. | | | it's an odd conundrum, because youtube want to put up videos made by anyone so everyone can watch them, and because music videos are copyrighted items it technically means each time it is watched a fee (albeit small) goes to the owner of the copyright, so the PRS (performing rights society), which is a non-profit organisation try and distribute the royalties to the copyright owners/artists/whatever. The frustrating this is that youtube has said that the PRS is being unreasonable, so has taken off the official videos, which means the artists are back to square one. I'm sure the can't be asking any more of youtube than they would MTV, which is fair enough, infact that is a great deal because you can watch the videos you want to watch at any time, not just the ones that a TV company programs. So Youtube are basically kicking the artists in the face, and effectively condoning breach of copyright by allowing bootlegged videos such as live performances or ones uploaded by any random person, instead of disallowing them and only allowing the offical ones. I don't think the PRS are doing anything wrong by asking for the money after all, I'm sure some of us get occaisonal money from them. I do think Youtube/Google have been a bit petty in their response, but I suppose something was going to happen like that. Hopefully the official channels will come back soon and they'll start to catch up on the non-official (basically illegal) uploads.
