In
fairness to Google, sand it's You-Tube subsidiary, some of the videos
they delete are for survival against the most evil predator of our
time, the Sue-er rat.

Viacom on Tuesday slapped YouTube and parent company Google with a
lawsuit, accusing the wildly popular video-sharing site of "massive
intentional copyright infringement" and seeking more than $1 billion in
damages.

My recent South Park clip is one example of retreating under Viacom
pressure. This will be an interesting case, if it continues to a
jury verdict. I see Viacom's point in instances where entire episodes
of their programming have been posted, but a one minute clipought to
fall under Fair Use.
In fact, the little clips I, and a million others post are invaluable
advertising for the product. This is mostly about Viacom going
after deep pockets, is my take. Carry on, I will.
