True, but once again, why those accounts when many others offer for free viewing copyrighted material?

I have viewed on Youtube several full movies, that are still copyrighted (example: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, look for it, it's easy to find). And those are viewed thousands of times. And they are being kept online for a long time. It's not the only example.

I repeat myself: cheaters don't like to be caught in the act. When those fake demonstrators were filmed, the cheaters have been caught. Posting that movie is no copyright enfringement...

ATS deletes posts and threads if the mods don't like what it says politically. Why would anyone be surprised that Youtube, which is nothing but a corporate shill would do the same?

Why is news footage copyrighted?

I would expect to see more of this unfortunately. Microsoft recently announced that they have web bots that will scour the net to remove "objectionable" material (gee, I wonder what qualifies as "objectionable"?).

Google also has millions of bots that scour the net, I'm sure these can be tweaked to delete info as well.

The future will probably be a main WW2 or WW3 world wide web that will be censored and then many smaller underground nets whose infrastructure is supported by rogue connections through back doors and open relays.

With Net Neutrality removed, corporate and government entities will attempt to rule the matrix. Add to this programs like "Carnivore" which is probably still active in another form to monitor email and "Echelon" to monitor traffic it will be very hard to get alternative information distributed.

It's amazing that within a year any American on the grid will have no real privacy whatsoever. The government will parse every citizen's TV viewing habits thanks to mandatory digital TV to build up profiles and dossiers on those who would "pose a threat" (think critically) and combine this with records of every phone call, email and website visited. This will aid them for when they are compiling their lists for dissident round ups.

It's astounding that this has been allowed to occur.

The Tube is the 3rd ranking site. Its popularity got nothing to do with videos whose content strongly disagrees with what is generally accepted. So if the unhappy members kill their accounts, the site will still rank #3.

Looks like most of these guys:
"acebryan, nightfallproject, rodneykingman, teabowbraine, realeducation, vormeggio, mayorofcydae, wildtonic heartofdrakn NafrikaKorps "

are up and running at YouTube. Some with changed names.

Yea ive been looking up lots of subjects THEY wouldnt like us looking at and they have seemed to . .disappear? hmm , . . . like sum of the proof of ufo's and such subjects on this site and others are "not available" for some such reason . . .

Anything so concentrated and centralized will be subject to the beast. People my idea is to stay underground by creating and utilizing many sites of such a style. Yeah we are that lazy where we dont want to be familiar with multiple setups so we act conveniently and x_times the strength of one to the point where it gets power like this. This is why i say go underground. Like like the evil tacktic of seperating co defendants/gang memers/family members/etc. to weaken the individual and then do as they please...in this case ceasing info whether it was true or not......which deefinately adds to the power of there info no matter. The Giants ain't nothing but smoke. They only run over us because of us. Dont forget Who's IS the Master!!!!! Peace Be to All

I deleted one of my own accounts on Youtube. I was leaving random messages on the 9/11 type videos and someone responded to me personally and called me out by name. Not even my relatives or friends knew of that account. I wish I had screenshots of it now. Scary. It went something like this...

Dear (my real name)
Don't you have anything better to do that sit upstairs puffing on a cigarette watching Conspiracy videos and commenting nonsense on Youtube? Get your life together man.
---------
I do live upstairs, and do occasionally puff a cig while watching videos since it is near a window. It is my desktop computer that nobody else has access to. I was freaked out and didn't even view anything on Youtube for a year.

any words from the victims? I need to know.

Not quite but certainly they are at the border houses.

I know that Hashisim guy uses at least some misinformation/disinformation on his videos sourced from others for his website. And guess what?
I noticed a chunk of disinformation/junk of this (about 10 minutes worth) was originally on YouTube from someone else.

Now I'm not saying the Hashasim guy is talking bs or an agent of disinformation cause some of his stuff is very good and cleverly done.
But he's taken some very shaky and dodgy material and used it as a filler for at least one of his videos.

So there's no smoke without fire on this one. Youtube are not as liberal as LiveVideo is (usually more lenient and generous) but they are a bustlin' site that gets the traffic so they've gotta walk the line carefully. And that means getting rid of the dodgy and trashy conspiracy videos that are doing damage to the ATS and more even-handed conspiracies.
