YouTube applies censorship

YouTube has recently removed about 30.000 media clips from their database due copyright rules. Not more nor less than 29,549 videos were deleted from the servers because The Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers complained about breaking the above-mentioned rules.

YouTube was practically pushed from behind to enforce those rules because they were recently bought by Google, and they are going to be integrated among all of the other Google Web Services. They can’t afford a wave of law suits due copywritten materials right now.

At the moment, YouTube is over a year and a half old and it’s currently broadcasting over 100.000.000 web clips per day, worldwide. Most of those videos are home made or amateur cameras, but there are some recorded movies there and other rules-breaking material. A spokesman for the Japanese censorshipping company suggested YouTube that they should implement a  middle stage in the uploading process that would be meant to stop illegal content from being broadcasted online.

We’re hoping that the recent 1.63 Million Dollar aquisition from Google will be as popular as it was until now and we’re hoping that the trading of copywritten materials will get lower and lower, as time passes. Everybody trusts Google that they will turn the YouTube project into something wonderful.
