So... not allowed to post a commercial on youtube?!

[GrayFox]

I tried to watch an amusing commercial on YouTube... but guess what?

<div class='quotetop'></div><div class='quotemain'>This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.</div>

Not only is YouTube becoming a piece of crap by letting everyone boss them around, but these media companies are a bunch of damned idiots for not wanting commercials posted online! No one can say a company loses money when their commercial is posted online. That company would actually make money from more people actually seeing the commercial! (when those people buy the product or use the service)

Where has common sense gone in today's world?

that's why I'm opening my own youtube site.. no BS like them!

I really want to see that become a success. :eyepop:
Hopefully idiot corporations don't start pressuring you if it does.

Big business always try to neutralize any new media that is and might take them over. YouTube is basically there, same with sites like Digg, Myspace, Photobucket and others.

Back on topic; that is bullshit, what's next? Microsoft will sue me for putting up the Halo 3 E3 trailer when Bungie is ok with it? Apple will iSue me for putting up the iMac ad? This kind of crap is bullshit to the second degree.

A lot of companies are keeping ads and things on there, it's just up to THEM to have a director account and add the videos themselves. NBC, ABC, CBS all do that; they have clips of shows and whatnot and it's completely legal because it's coming from within that network. They don't mind any of that stuff being there, but it all depends on who adds it to decide if it gets kept or not(silly logic, I know ;/).

Yeah, it's dumb. I don't see what's wrong with free advertisement!

The word "free" to their logic must be free for us to "steal" and it costs them more money. Which is wrong on so many levels.
