YouTube violations now include Anshe Chung vid

It seems the Graefs have nothing more to worry about when it comes to having phallic Griefing videos up on YouTube. YouTube has apparently taken the issue of copyright and made it a non-issue in terms of their service by deeming the Second Life video of Anshe Chung a “terms of use violation.”

Originally, the Graefs were trying to get the video off of YouTube by citing copyright infringement, as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA. As a good number of online journalists have noted, there are “fair use” statutes for something like this since it’s related to news.

No one’s been able to figure out why the video’s been taken down, however. The only note given is the replacement of the video with the message saying, “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.” While no explanation has been given, expect someone to know the reasons behind this deletion within the next few days.
