Kirkatronics Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 It's a bit more advanced than that. Youtube have the ability of scanning uploaded videos and matching it up with blocked content, then disabling the video instantly. Dont they only do that with porn for now, though? Maybe for TV shows, but some do slip through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsly Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) I hadn't really come up across any blocked music video's until today, where about half of the video's I had saved as favorites can no longer be watched and pretty much any music video from the 80's or 90's that I try to find is blocked too. However I've been using this; http://unblockyoutubeproxy.com/ Just copy and past the url of the blocked video on their page and you can watch it right away.

Jimbob Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article.aspx?cp-documentid=15342651 It seems now the matter is going further. Youtube have now blocked every single music video unofficial and all. Alas, Google and MSN Video sites shall suffice me now.

I hope it wasn't that article cos that article didn't say that, and I can STILL find music videos on youtube that I can watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it wasn't that article cos that article didn't say that, and I can STILL find music videos on youtube that I can watch! Which videos can you see, most if not all of the ones i have on favorites i cannot watch at all. Ok, Live recorded stuff works still atm. Not sure if Youtube will block these as well. When i say "unofficial" videos, i mean music videos that feature the song of the artist and are published by non-music companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hmm, maybe it's going through a systematic crackdown. I just youtubed Mercy by Duffy(I got such a mental block to search for vids i actually want lol, and my friend had been going on about that) and got the actual vid up, most of the related links were just other vids what worked, Akon's Right Now is working fine etc. Not found any usermade videos just using songs for a soundtrack yet, maybe it's just songs from the WB label and I haven't come across any yet.

I'll take a look at some of them videos, see if they still work later on or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
