It’s not a question of blame or hypocrisy, LZ.

Many editors, project preservationists and members on here (and elsewhere) over the years have suffered the occasional youtube takedown notice, or copyright notice, or received something similar - or the same - as to what SWTheory has. Some of it seemed unfair, unjust, undeserved, or wrong - and some of it not.

The difference is, as far as I can recall, is that most of the people on here have simply adjusted or edited their work on youtube to comply with any requests/problems - or contested it (where they felt a mistake may have been made - as much of this process is automated and mistakes do happen). Or they moved their content to the likes of vimeo, dailymotion or one of the other video hosting sites.

And that was pretty much it, they may be have been a bit miffed and inconvenienced - though they learn from the experience, and then move forward with their projects.
