Youtube Maitenance

OK, so for the last couple of months, there have been some complaints against youtube, and for good reason. Since the site has been bought by google, it's gone WAY overboard with things like censorship, copyright "laws", and many other things. A girl who I am good friends with online had made several AMV's using clips from the movie 9. Now, according to youtube, all you have to do to post copyrighted material is say that none of it belongs to you, that you're giving credit to the owners of the material, that the video is fanmade, and that it will be taken down upon request. This girl just started her 7th youtube account because they, without any kind or warning or supposed "requests to remove the videos," closed her first six accounts because she violated the youtube rules. Even though she FOLLOWED all of the rules given her, and made sure that anyone involved in the making of her videos did as well.

They repeatedly keep taking down videos I make because of copyright problems with my videos. No "requests," no "warnings."

And yet, people can post entire movies online with no problem whatsoever.

On top of all that, most websites post something on their main homepage when they're down for maitenence. Not youtube. Oh, no, their front page is perfectly up and running, but if you try to watch any videos, you get a bar on the top saying they are "down for maitenence." Along with that, it takes for-fricken-ever to even get to that page telling you that the site is down. Just under three minutes for me. Which, of course, causes me to get mad at my computer and throw a little hissy fit that involves cussing out everyone and everything in sight.

Youtube, you need to get your shit together, and run the site how it used to be run. Your "changes" are crap. Thank you, and have a nice day!
