Banned from YOUTUBE , possible lawsuit
I was Banned from YOUTUBE for uploading Formula One audio/video.
I even received threatening emails from Formula One Administrations (FOA) concerning lawsuits.
They deleted 14 pages worth of my uploaded videos!

Their copyright malarkey is so full of BS. They can't actually claim "all rights reserved", no matter what they tell you.
They're as bad as patent trolls. Uploading something to YouTube doesn't cause them to lose a cent, they're just flexing their muscles (read: abusing their undeserved power) because they can.

well it's not as bad as i knew who got a letter sent to his house from mircosoft claiming they'd sue him if he didn't stop using pirated software.
he was so freaked out that they not only knew his real name but also where he lived.

Its illegal to even record the race on VHS. It's doubly illegal to give it to anybody even for free.

Wow, that is very retarded. There are people out there putting entire movies out on YouTube, and have been up there for the better half of last year, and are STILL up.
I love how they're really taking this to the next level. The government is probably going to start putting up laws on the internet, because there basically are none so far. That's going to be retarded.
