It is astounding to me that YouTube does not realise to what extent they are cutting their own throats with this kind of censorship. They have already lost many long-time members that are very talented video makers due to the fear of (or reality of) having their vids removed from the site and now they are setting themselves up to lose the remaining users they have.
My son has a YT account and he's started uploading the home movies he and his friends make-westerns, spy movies, film noir detective flicks. He's 14 and is really enjoying the process of film making and editing and there are a lot of other kids out there like him,creating art, but how discouraged will those kids get if their vids are randomly removed for the most frivilous reasons?
Eventually YT will have no users and they will only have themselves to blame for it.
