May become harder to find those handy videos to do your own firearms modifications, upgrades and repairs in the future, since I doubt youtube censors can tell the difference between an autosear and a minus connector..

I had an interesting conversation with a 5 yr old great grandson, who saw me working offline on my laptop. He wanted me to get online so he could watch Youtube videos, specifically Grand Theft Auto videos. I asked him what he knew of the game, and he said you get to steal cars and kill people. Many of these videos are not restricted. In addition, you can find unrestricted fictional depictions of massive amounts of Hollywood gun violence. They hypocrisy of Youtube is incredible.
Received a news letter/email from GunBroker.com - they have started up a u-tube alternative for gun folk. www.gungenius.com
Nice - flipping one at Google! And a real fast start-up too.

I've already began downloading thousands of YouTube videos of good gun-related content. As far as I'm concerned, once they banned them, they no longer want the rights to them. I'll eventually get them uploaded elsewhere or start my own YT-alternative. I have tens of terabytes of free space in some servers. Just will need to find some funding for bandwidth.

Who holds the copyright? Not arguing, just curious - I would have assumed that the creator still retained the rights to uploaded videos (but I could very easily be wrong on that point).
