Huh. Things must have changed since Google (was it Google?) bought them out. They won a case against a woman by claiming freedom of press. Some burglar broke into her house after learning how to key bump a lock open from a video there. She sued them for allowing the video to be there. I don't think they should have won; I hardly consider YouTube to be a member of the press. The press reports news; it's not just a collection of people who put up videos.
Thanks for pointing that out.
