Just got IM about this (un)expected turn of events.. kinda a bummer since it is going to make it worse then better.

Well, that was long overdue. They missed a bunch, though. It'll always be a tough fight to take down every illegal video that goes up, unless YouTube changes their policy on uploading videos to do a copyright check first.

In a way I'm kind of glad they started doing that.

I have never uploaded copyrighted stuff, only homemade stuff from my digi cam but no one wants to watch that =/ And all my friends upload copyrighted stuff and get better ratings which of course would be obvious for them to get compared to me.

Although I will miss the free anime fansub viewings if they do get rid of everything copyrighted.

I had a bunch of things from japan on Youtube that I didn't even know was copyrighted, so they banned me after this.

They could have just let me know instead, I would have taken them down myself. :(
