Right now some of you might think this is a strange post to make, but YouTube! are not the ones to blame here. The fact is, websites like YouTube! can leave content up that is infringing on copyright forever, and infact you can go find some thats probably been there for a couple of years.
However, the second someone challenges some content, they have good reason to delete the content/suspend an account. Companies go searching for this stuff on behalf of WWE, so if anyone is to blame here, it's WWE and their hold on the industry that is the wrestling business.
YouTube! were in a position obviously where they had to delete the stuff, they haven't done it for shits and giggles.
So lets be level headed here.
Mmmmk?

You're absolutely correct. The site, however, should still be criticized for being every media corporation's plaything. Of course, these companies would threaten legal action if YouTube were to defend their users in cases like these, so the smart decision would be to side with the ones who feel that they have been infringed because there's no other choice. YouTube, or its parent company, Google, is wealthy...but it's not that wealthy.
I don't know who to blame. It could be WWE, YouTube, Second City or the guy two houses down from me who finds pleasure in flagging videos.

I don't want to sound like an ass but, man read the help sections Youtube has. It states that you can take WWE to court to get your media back up. You can also contact Youtube and ask them why your media has been taken down. I've tried it and they do respond, most likely on the same day or the same week. But yes, the first post does make alot more sense because I know Youtube isn't a site to just remove people to showoff their power and do it for laughs.
