Lucasfilm has been informed that YouTube recently removed from its site several fan-made Star Wars spoofs and parodies. We would like the fan film community to know that this was not done at our request.
Apparently the action was taken by YouTube as a result of a misunderstanding of a request to remove an item containing material taken from starwars.com without our permission. We have asked YouTube to restore any works that they inadvertently removed. - SW.COM

Interesting. There was talk in the Fan-film section of TF.n about some fanfilms being removed from YT, and others remaining, seemingly with no reason other than LFL said something or other. People were getting worried about fan-films in general, but this apparently clears that up.
