It's copyright protection gone retarded. The PRS would be proud.

Given the "in your country" part of the message, it looks more like it's one of these videos that will have a region-by-region launch on youtube (which happens quite a lot now for major artists) rather than they've actually had it removed.

Tut. Silly boingers. I have to admit to not checking but believing any bad story about Sony. I heard they kicked a spastic once.

I've tried to watch clips from channel 4 shows a couple of times on Youtube and been told that "this video is not available in your country due to copyright laws".

Oh well. I'll put the fucking telly on then!*


*If I had one that worked.

Yeah, I have had that happen as well but on reload the video has worked so it must be some kind of bug in You Tube.

Sadly, I've faced this myself. A mash up video I've made has fallen foul of copyright laws. (nice enough to know that UMG gives a damn about Colonel Abrams singing over a chiptune version of his seminal hit, Trapped).

If you're wondering, this is the list of countries it'll display that "content blocked in your country" message.
Still live in those not listed :p .
