    Any idea why YouTube pulled it?

    Thanks. “American Idol” probably stamped its foot and got its way. I understand about protecting copyrighted material, but YT would pull anything that even had a split-second of footage — regardless of fair use. Oh well, side with the corporations, not with your users.

    Hi Wade: Enjoyed your pulled video. I had one pulled as well, the link to down load it is here if you’re interested (http://www.sendspace.com/file/sqr9jc) –
    I submitted it to gofish, but it still reads ‘not published’.
    In any event my question is this, why are there multiple videos on You Tube by one individual that contain ONLY Taylor’s AI performances in their entirety. Any ideas?

    I doubt they’re still there. Once Idol puts out the hit, none survive.
