FUCK VIACOM

It's fine and all that Viacom is taking down their own videos, but in the crazy mass deletion last night they killed off home videos and marked perfectly sound legal videos as copyright infringers.

Why?

Because of keyword searches. Hundreds upon hundreds of videos were selected for deletion based solely upon what keywords were used to describe them. Viacom didn't bother LOOKING at the actual videos, they just got DELETION HAPPY. Now the only way to get your video back up and running is to literally WRITE A LETTER TO YOU TUBE to try and get it back up. Great. Because thats really going to work when hundreds of letters are coming in.

Everyone who wants hits has gotten a little creative with their tags and added in a daily show reference or wrote the words "tom cruise" randomly in there so they might get more random views. But this should not result in being blamed on copyright infrigement!

Shame on you, youtube and VIACOM for not actually watching the videos you blast from the internet!


SPECIFICALLY MINE!
