Google have to delete them, or they'll get sued.

I love the it crowd. I have been told there is another series coming soon . I just done a quick search on google and there are still on there .

I don't see how it's getting worse, YouTube is ran by the same people, just Google own it now.

Yeah - but youtube dont want to get sued for the users copyright breaches do they?

Who were you talking to then? :S

Youtube's been ruined by all the video removals, it used to be so much better.

That is what i was replying to.

They make it sound like they're going to sue you though.

What kind of gain would they get suing a random person who is one of probably hundreds of people who does that everyday? There would be no point in it. To be honest 99.99% of the time if someone says they will sue you its an idol threat.

Damn, I liked watching the IT crowd on YouTube.

Very true. It's the same with illegal music downloading--they're never going to get everybody so they have to go after the services that provide it: Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire. With the videos the production companies are going to sue Youtube, not you.

However there is a possibility that they'll make an example of a few users in order to deter people from doing the same.

It's very simple. They remove videos they normally wouldn't of in the past, whether it be copyright issues or of the wrong nature. I'd put it down to it being a victim of its own success, because it's gotten so big these changes were implemented. But still, as much as I understand the changes I still feel it makes the community much worse.
