The super brainiacs at MIT have created a catalog of all the videos that have been removed from The Youtube for alleged copyright violations. YouTomb lists recently removed videos, who requested their removal, when they were taken down, and how long they were up beforehand.

While you can’t actually watch the removed videos it is always nice to know who is censoring content on the web and what they censoring. Even if it just an illegally uploaded clip of kittens playing table tennis stolen from Australia’s Funniest Home Videos.

I implore you my fellow geeks, don’t do as I did and let your enthusiasms get the better of you. Bitch slap these losers, both the greedy retailers and pinheaded censors, put another dent in our balance of payments, and order your copy of GTA IV from the freedom loving peoples republic of Hong Kong, or Malaysia, or somewhere, anywhere that you can get a fair shake for your gaming dollar and all of the violence and adults only smut the good folk at Rockstar intended.
John Birmingham – having issues with the local cost and censorship of Grand Theft Auto IV

Censorship, especially coming from the religious halls of parliment in Australia, makes me mad. People can vote with their remote controls, and saying the f word dos not make you an immoral person. So f–k off.
