Although the article claims this was for a DMCA takedown notice, I think we've seen the articles explaining the arrangement between Google and The Media Conglomerates whereby aforementioned Conglomerates get to takedown whatever they want, whenever they want. No courts, no perjury, no fair use. Just outright removal. What's a creative professional to do? Pay Vimeo or some other site to host your content. Pay a web developer to get you set up to host this stuff on your own site. Turn it into a podcast. If you think YouTube is the only game "in town," you need to get out more.

Isn't vimeo a wholly owned subsidiary of Youtube?
- brucehart 14y ago
  No, Vimeo is owned by IAC (Interactive Corp.).

  No, it isn't.

  You might be thinking of VEVO (which is for major label music videos)..

    VEVO is not owned by Google or YouTube.

      VEVO has a deal with Youtube where they get their own-branded player (with a VEVO logo in the corner instead of Youtube), and I think there's a way to search for only VEVO-brand videos on Youtube or something.

        And a way to search for only non-VEVO videos. (I hate the VEVO player.) In Firefox, click the Searchbar drop-down "Manage Search Engines", and then the link "Get more search engines". Find and install the YouTube search engine. Now edit the $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<your profile>/searchplugins/youtube-video-search.xml file. Change the os:URL tag template section from "?search_query={searchTerms}&" to "?search_query={searchTerms}+-vevo&". Your Youtube searches will now default to excluding the term "vevo" from any result.

        You can build your own branded YouTube player by using the API.

It does, and the problem is that the new process that was the "final straw" was not a DMCA takedown notice, but instead a policy: ContentID finds a "problem" video, the uploader can explain/deny, and then the copyright owner is allowed by YouTube to make the judgment.
