OUTRAGE: Political Blackout by YouTube (Financial Crisis Part V)
It was only a matter of time, I suppose.
For all the talk about how the internet was a bastion of free speech,
the truth is that too few people own the primary public forums on the
net. Which means those forums are their personal property and are good
for free speech for only as long as the owners allow them to be.
The outstanding political infomercial, posted on this site and
elsewhere around the internet, has been removed by YouTube. As of last
night, only V1 was deleted; but V2 and V3 have since been removed as
well. YouTube claims that these were deleted due to copyright claims
over the soundtrack used.
Let's test that theory. Right now.
The soundtrack of the video is as follows:
Dire Straits--Money for Nothing
Tom Petty--Free Falling
Talking Heads-Burning Down the House
Bonnie Tyler--Holding Out for a Hero
AC/DC--Money Talks
Remy Zero-- Save Me
Survivor--Eye of the Tiger
The following videos, as of 1400hrs CDT 9/30/2008, were found on
YouTube. All of the examples I'm posting are apparently unauthorized
uses, such as DVP rips, Guitar Hero hacks, amatuer music videos, et.
cetra.

YouTube is 0/7. Quite simply, YouTube's argument holds no water.
As for the legal side of this, this is called Fair Use.
