ok - lemme start off by saying I was a huge fan of Youtube... before Google bought them out and made intellectual property a household name. Where's the fair use Google? :(
I had opened an account with Youtube close to a year ago and had been slowly collecting and sharing my favorite clips from tv shows, animated shorts, and full length movies - but now all that has changed. 3/4's of my clips were unavailable due to terms violations (read "if we cant make money - you ain't welcome to watch") and the result is some pretty slim pickins...
I'm going to throw out a useful site called Video Codezone which allows you to grab and download Youtube videos to your hard drive before they get a chance to disapear. The file is downloadable and converted into any file format you like (.avi for windows media player). The site is very slow though - so if you dont mind downloading a .flv player, there are other sites like KeepVid which allow you to download unconverted video and play it with a flv player
Oh and almost forgot - here's a terrifying video I found on Youtube - inciting Palestinian children to throw rocks at Israeli troops and be martyred for Allah...
