Because YouTube has been deleting shit right and left in a frenzy 
lately. It's not just my own sour grapes for having all my uploaded 
stuff and even my whole acct. deleted -- it's happening across the

vids uploaded with it -- 86'd"

Viacom Files Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against YouTube and Google 
Over Unauthorized Use Of The Company's Shows

Viacom International, Inc. v. YouTube, Inc., YouTube, LLC, and Google, 
Inc. March 13, 2007


Viacom and its companies file a copyright infringement lawsuit against 
YouTube and Google seeking at least $1 billion in damages.

The media company charges that “YouTube has harnessed technology to 
willfully infringe copyrights on a huge scale,” by taking “the value of 
creative content on a massive scale for YouTube’s benefit without 
payment or license. The suit alleges that the copyright infringement is 
on such a large scale that it “identified more than 150,000 unauthorized 
clips of their copyrighted programming on YouTube that had been viewed 
an astounding 1.5 billion times.”

Viacom details the "legitimate licensed channels" that it works with to 
distribute the company's copyrigh-protected content. These partners 
include Apple's iTUnes Music Store and Joost.
