Youtube Disabling Audio

Presumably a robot muted it and sent the mail? I can't believe a YouTube employee would act that fast...

Oh my god. Remember when I put up a video to Badly Drawn Boy's Donna and Blitzen in December?

The audio is still up - and it has had 9,831 views!

And there are 34 comments, all saying how wonderful it is.

I especially like these two comments:

Wow, you are my hero! I searched for this song on here for the first time yesterday, to no avail...I chance another look today, and thanks to you here it is! Brilliant!

no matter, if this is just a coincidence (literally nothing in our papers about it) or not - who else than Monty Python could do it the right way:

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.

We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.

No more of those crap quality videos you've been posting. We're giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.

What's more, we're taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what's even more, we're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!

But we want something in return.

None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.

I'm always shocked that I get about 100 hits a month on my Amazon profile.
