YouTube is now on the ball taking down videos that question the Sandy Hook shooting under the claim of copyright violation and/or the posting of violent material. I know this because about 7 links I had bookmarked early this morning have now all been taken down by YouTube. Most of these copyright and violent material claims are bogus. There is a category of use called "Fair Use" and almost all of these videos do indeed fall under this category. This is a tactic of censorship and one to silence the issue and prevent further people from questioning the events.
If you are of the awake, then please do your best to copy the good videos you find and mirror them so that the information can continue to be spread.

i have experienced something like this in the past. i will have to leave out the details, but it was something more than just ripping off the latest metallica video or something. youtube acts swiftly, without 'due process'. these videos removed are probably done so on a temporary basis, so YT can review them and verify what's what. i would encourage the video uploaders to contact youtube and make their case. its possible that there IS a copyright violation, however.
@ Anonymous,
Perhaps some videos may be copyright, but not the ones I'm referring to. They were the standard "clip" variey, where they take a snip of media footage and then comment on that. That's considered "Fair Use" and any copyright claims are false. However, YouTube doens't care and will pull any vid onver any claim w/out ivestigation. You do have to fight them if you are in the right and that's what is so messed up.
