South Park Removed by Youtube (google)
 

Well guys, it has begun.

The majority of South Park scenes, etc., have been removed from Youtube for copyright infringement. Have you guys seen any other things removed?

Guess we were right that it would be only a matter of time.

What do you guys think of YT now? Personally, I think its good. Its just now you can't find the mainstream stuff anymore.

What do you think or feel about the removal of these shows etc?

I think Cartman said it best as 'fuck-fuckity-fuck-fuck-fuck.' My You-Tube experience has now been sodomized. I'll never see it as pure and untouched again.

I don't really care at the moment because I only watch odd obscure stuff that won't be deleted or won't be deleted for awhile because its not mainstream

South Park episodes are around 30MB, what are you guys bitching about? They are all over the place even with direct downloads.

I also hate the direction YouTube may head, but seeing every minor change as a total faliure won't solve anything.

Watch it while it still lives!! Chinpokomon!!
"I got to buy it! I got to buy it! Chinpokomon!"


on another note:
Youtube even started to remove clips from TV variety shows in Japan.
Those bastards!

Is everyone going to hate youtube now because of capitalist america taking it over? Its not like it didn't remove videos for copyright stuff before.

Yeah, that may be true. But its happening at a much broader and quicker scale. I liked it when they were slower to respond.

We'll all just have to use DailyMotion instead, I knew this would happen, looks like just home made movies on youtube from now on =(... I hope they don't remove hardgay >_>

Hell, we all knew it would happen. They want to make deals with the record industry to show mainstream content like music videos and clips from CBS shows to promote television viewing. It's only a matter of time before they claim some kind of ownership of any content posted so that if/when a major star were to come about after gaining fame from YouTube, they could claim partial ownership of their music/production, and reap in the profits.

They're also deleting all the Cartoon Network stuff, and just about anything they find that has a copyright at an alarming rate. Most of my favorites list disappeared overnight. I'm pretty much done with YouTube.

You obviously have no grasp of how business law works.

As for South Park being removed - why is anyone surprised? Torrents, P2P services are considered "stealing", so why would YouTube be any different? If you're dumb enough to walk out in traffic, you deserve to be run over - similarly, if you're dumb enough to steal copyrighted material, you deserve to be caught.

Stop being stupid.

Don't post that you uploaded anything there, either. LeHah might up and report you!

Don't say anything stupid, Capo. Someone might call you out ...

Shit, wait.

You're hardly one to talk when your comeback consists of nothing more than calling me stupid. Good job.

See, my real problem with what you did is that you still have this entire "holier than thou" attittude about file sharing. We get it. You actually buy music. Big fucking deal. That's no reason to look down on those who do not.

Except when I called myself stupid just then.

Ah. I was under the impression that you were implying that others had already "called me out" on the fact that I was not too intelligent. The rest of my point still stands, though.

It's pretty weak when you have people having their videos removed after they've been their for a period of months prior to this whole copyright issue was raised about youtube and what should and what shouldn't be displayed there.

I'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching all of the Naruto episodes being deleted, whether they're official or fan made.

This doesn't happen nearly half as much as it should.

Youtube could do with you two filming yourselves flaming one another.

You dumbshit, maybe it's because youtube offered episodes to view WITHOUT having to actually save the shit to your hard drive. Not everybody has thousands of gigs of available space.

the deletion of the those crazy Japanese shows is the worst part :(

Yeah, the Japanese shows were awesome!

Kinda funny really, the free speech that made youtube so great in the first place and was probably why google bought it is going to vanish. At this rate it's going to end up like google video only with a lot more "LOLZ LOOK AT ME!!!!!1 I HAVE A WEBCAM!!!" videos XD

I am not suprised by all the stuff that is taken down so far... after the youtube purchase, a Japanese company sued them because they now know that rich folks at google now owns them.

easy money

Meh, all my AMVs were deleted after they were up for about 7 months.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to find anything interesting to watch on Youtube nowadays.
Yay for capitalism. -_-

So how long before I have to subscribe to youtube for a monthly fee?
