    This is my new favorite site. I can't stand the ease with which groups claiming copyright violations can have content censured on YouTube.

    This is my new favorite site. I can't stand the ease with which groups claiming copyright violations can have content censured on YouTube. That place has become a useless collection of near-pornographic tripe, combined with the lightest layer of pop-culture fluff that Sony BMG, Warner, et al., don't mind that the illiterate user base consumes. If you can't tell, I enjoy efforts to criticize YouTube. But, anyway, to review the actual site....I enjoy how YouTomb provides statistics to differentiate why a video was removed (it monitors videos that were removed for any reason). Unfortunately, the way they scan for video removals is incomplete: the quicker YouTube removes videos, the higher the chances that YouTomb's ongoing scans will miss a video in its entirety, as YouTomb won't scan a removed video it hasn't seen before. Worse yet, they don't have the resources to monitor all YouTube videos; YouTomb is just monitoring the most popular videos, as well as ones mentioned on some websites.
