If they Suspended people for uploading copyrighted material a third of the content (maybe more) would be wiped out. If they had a problem with the copyright on a PSA (and fair enough) why did they leave a copy of the same vid up for over a year? Nah...somebody has flagged it. Can't have simulated sex on YouTube - you can have everything else, including, I just noticed, Full Frontal childbirth vids. They "suspended" me for 3 infringements "Avatar Kama Sutra" (very funny), "17 year old Kurdish Girl Stoned to Death" (alright it was gruesome and graphic but there are now copies up on YouBoob and in mainstream media) and the final straw for them was this AIDS PSA.
Oh my God! Look what I just found, campers. http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=2346476&page=1
My Paediatrician wife says it's not a hoax although extremely rare.
I uploaded the straight version to YouTube three weeks ago and they promptly "permanently suspended" me citing "inappropriate content". Then I noticed the very same vid was already up on YouTube and had been for a year (71,000 views). They apologised and un-suspended me and promptly took down the oh-so-naughty AIDS Campaign video. American double-standards in full swing? We all know YouTube is awash in porn and violent videos. But we can't have animated sex can we.
I uploaded the 2005 AIDS spot to YouTube and they pulled it off (ha ha) after 20 minutes and canned my arse - "Permanently suspended". When I pointed out that the same video was already up on YouTube and indeed had been for a year (with 71,000 views) they let me back on the board. Seems you can't show animated simulated sex on YouTube but you can Upload videos of kids beating the crap out of each other, war-porn and beaucoup videos of tits and arse.
