If you plan to sell to Mindgeek we would rather have you go now. If not, it should not affect you.
We'll likely update this agreement a bit, and will always respect your wish to remove certain videos for the usual reasons.

I'm glad that we have that in writing that you'll always respect our wish to remove certain videos, should I imply that to mean we can have our videos removed whenever we please?
Let's say you won't agree to this? You give absolute minimal advertising space to your Content Partners. Lets play devils advocate and say that in the future, you decide to remove ALL advertising to the Content Partner. Its your site, you can do this. What recourse does a Content Partner have then?
What if you were to decide, in the future, that your "community" is strong enough to support your tube with stolen content? And the fact that it takes up to 5 days for you to comply with DMCA, and the fact that you seem to have a very lapse Repeat Infringer policy, this all plays into a potential move for you to increase your ad revenues further.
You have an opportunity right now to do more for Content Partner, or you can continue down the current path, and I can tell you, it won't be the path of least resistance any more.
