YOUTUBE FLAGGED VIDEOS AS INAPPORIATE!!

[alidarose]

i was on youtube not so long ago to watch some clips of ellen:

ellen emma best of
ellen neighbors best of
ellen makin' whoopie best of
ellen guys or dolls best of
ellen roomates best of
ellen just coffe best of

they are all suddenly removed from youtube!!! i was really upset, because those are some of my favorite clips, and i'm sure many of you people liked those to. i tried to contact youtube to put them back on, but i couldn't reach them. i need help!!!

:-(

thank you!!

whenever i click on a link to an older post on here for a youtube ellen clip, a lot of the time it says that it was removed due to "terms of violation". how can an ellen clip violate anything? whats with these people that keep removing stuff?

I think because certain clips were posted with out permission of who has the rights to those shows. I thought it was ok for people to make those but I'm thinking that maybe it's not. Too bad for us. I thought they were just fun things to do. :(

exactly my point!!!!! i dont understand what it violates!!!! yea so what there are secenes when ellen is kissing a girl, but who cares? why is homosexuality considered a violation? theres nothing wrong with it, aand youtube doesn't have a right to just take off vidoes that involove homosexuality, because it isnt nice or fair!

[photo-nut]

I don't think it has anything to do with homosexuality. I think it's because the people that posted the clips don't own the rights to the shows they came from.

oh true....but still i miss those clips :(

I think photo-nut is right, it's probably got less to do with content than with money. Especially now that the DVDs are out they've been taking down a lot of Ellen stuff on YouTube. I guess they'd rather have us buy the DVDs that watch it for free online... which is sad for us, of course...

That's it in a nutshell - it's all to do with who owns the copyright and their "right" to sell their product. It's big business alright!!! I would imagine that once the DVDs have been a big success, then the copyright agreement will be relaxed again. Lets hope anyway!!!!
