It looks like we're in for another round of video deletions on YouTibe. As Jim Groom says, "I've probably had around 50 copyright complaints, and they have been coming fast and furious as of late. There must be some crackdown in the office of YouTube." What I don't understand is why the creators (or, more accurately, the copyright holders) of a film like The Wild Bunch don't understand that their property becomes more valuable when people use a clip of it as part of their everyday vocabulary. Oh well. I guess it's back to cat videos - they'll never become illegal (unless Disney decides it owns the rights to cat videos).
