    YouTube forced to erase 30,000 video files

        Welcome to the wonderful world of "google bought you, now you have deep pockets, and now everyone is going to get their lawyers after you".

        We can all remember this as they time that youtube stopped being cool.

          Aren't there somewhere near 60K new videos placed on Youtube every day? Them having to remove 30K shouldn't be anything to worry about.

                                The other 75 are clips from south park and "dick,fart, and boob jokes".

                                  I can't believe google even bought it without seeing how it did without copyright infringement. I guess they just wanted to get before anyone else did.
                                  Done.
