What do you think happens when you upload captured TV-content on YT?? From copyright point of view there is not really much difference between 20 day old content and 20 year old content, its all equally protected. Just saying that the intent is "archival" doesn't change anything

Yup, YouTube is probably the worst platform for archival. But isn't The Pirate Bay actually a Swedish site?

Sadly we have many hobbyist who do great work, but they are completely naive about the world. I'd hate to see the work go to waste. I think archiving these things are important, sadly people who work like this are making a ton of assumptions about how the world works and often completely ignore legal issues. It's often good that they do, if someone sat down and tried to handle the legality of the project first, then it would never get off the ground. Right now there's some hope that some Swedish organisation, The Internet Archive, maybe even YouTube, can step in and save the work. Then again there's a risk that no one can help. It is not much different that people building a community on Facebook, because it's easy, it gives them a ready made platform. An easy to use platform. Then they're surprised when Facebook close their account for violating a policy that was always there, but they never actually read Facebooks terms and condition (which I can understand). I'm sorry it happened to the guy, but you're right: "What did you think would happen?" The only surprise is that it didn't happen earlier.

  And nobody warned him ? Especially considering what happened to movie archives on MegaUpload and also after YouTube introducing ContentID ??

> Just saying that the intent is "archival" doesn't change anything Well, it sort of does because copyright laws have carve outs for libraries and archiving.

  There's a big difference between "oh you're an academic? Sure you can come pick through my basement archive of video" and "hey everyone, check out my youtube channel" That's before you even get into issues of Youtube's aggressive compression
