It qualifies as fair use... but you'd never know it

The music industry is still going crazy with asking YouTube to remove videos. Now even kids doing kids stuff to music isn't permitted.

According to statistics kept by YouTomb, there were twice as many videos removed from YouTube in January 2009 as in the entire previous year combined. The numbers are all more appalling because, thanks to Warner's reliance on YouTube’s automated, censorship-friendly Content I.D. tool, there is no reason to think that Warner even bothered to watch these videos to decide whether it actually objects them before blocking them.

Seriously folks, how much longer are we going to allow this crap?
