Ever noticed how many YouTube videos are being removed by YouTube for no apparent good reason other than politically motivated censorship?
Lets do something about that! Let us build a network that keeps re-uploading everything YouTube removes ;)
Special thanks to KLC for suggesting this group and for producing the original group logo :)
Re-Load videos to your own channel and show us your handy work, embed any reloads here in a comment, have fun dissidents! If you are unable to do this but have some suggested videos for reloading, please forward in a comment and I shall try to upload to my channel.
I have noticed for some time now many videos being removed by YouTube from channels in what is my opinion, for no legitimate reason. There certainly appears to be nothing objectionable in many of the files that are getting banned and removed. It would seem that YouTube, using the mask of copyright infringement, sees fit to censor any content that it pleases or is coerced into. I recently noticed that a couple of videos in my favorites had disappeared, "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation". Specifically there were two videos, both very short segments from the US Democratic Candidates Debate of 2007, featuring Senator Mike Gravel. I realize the segments are from an MSNBC broadcast, but these videos were available for viewing on YouTube for two years and then suddenly they violated terms of service.
I'm not suggesting that we steal anyone's creative original works and upload, linking to videos for full credit is the right thing to do. But when YouTube removes content for no good reason, let us show some dissent! A media corporation cannot demand that no one dare display a minute long excerpt from one of their broadcasts in the public domain, when it is done so in a totally not for profit manner and for educational purposes.
I now display the following on my YT channel: Fair Use Notice
This YouTube video channel utilizes video content that is copyright material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Re-Loaded, Iran is not the problem pt 1 - 8
The copyright notice by the producers of this video (Iran is not the problem), is a Creative Commons license: Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 You are free: to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work, to Remix — to adapt the work.
Despite consent from the producers to share this video, YouTube removed it claiming violation of terms of service. I cannot determine anything regarding the video that is in violation so therefore I have re-loaded it. This is a good history lesson on Iran and the efforts from everyone involved in this production may just have been a factor in averting another war that some US & Israeli officials were hellbent on orchestrating during the Bush administration years.
