1 - that's not relevant, Sky had a trademark issue here, not a copyright one
2 - why are you fussed? the rights holder can only sue for loss of earnings - essentially impossible to prove in this case.


So why are the YOUTUBE taking the videos down? if its losses earnings then why not give said companies the ad music or get rid of the ads?

Because YouTube is a different beast to a presentation website. Essentially, in order to placate the copyright holders they've given them push button ability to take videos down. This was intended to stop whole episodes of TV programmes and films from being shared over YouTube.

YouTube video removals of presentation content are the exception rather than the rule; I suspect the copyright holders aren't actually bothered about it (and it's just getting 'sucked in' in their searches for other stuff).

Over the coming months all videos on Sat Idents will moved off YouTube and will be become self hosted.
A preview the new standard content page is now available on the Discovery Current SD/HD page. Some of the main changes on the new content pages include new copyright notices, new video player buttons and of course the new self hosted videos (NOTE: videos autoplay except on Apple devices). The .mp4 video files are displayed through the JW Player. If you have any comments or suggestions about the updated layout, feel free to leave a comment here or on twitter @satidents.

If you like you may use my paid unlimited hosting account (ChannelWiki), and I'll let you use a subdomain.

Not spamming or hijacking a thread. Just want to help.

Update: Just realised you've got a domain.

I do hope it's not Sky misleading you into closing.

What did Sky actually state as I was considering adding something like this to ChannelWiki (and still am, eventually)?
