YouTube's Unspoken Linking Policy For Copyright Infringers 73

Hackajar writes "Valleywag has an interesting post detailing YouTube's new way to deal with copyrighted music videos, removing embed tags and linking it to the official content on site. What's significant here is the lack of video removal by YouTube staff. From the post, "Uploads of music videos from the band by non-official sources now carry a link reading "Contains content from [insert studio here]"". They use a Modest Mouse music video from a third party to illustrate the new change."

I'd like to live in a society where high-income individuals are prohibited from 'contributing' to popular culture.

Nobody should take your cultural influence seriously unless your rent is a couple months late.
