is it normal to have big hate and anger towards youtube?

because they delete quality music videos by the likes of john lennon, which ordinary users have posted....then they replace it with the official john lennon videos of the same song but a remixed/remastered version?   i want the original!!! not the fcking remixed remastered sh!t!

this makes me feel passionately angry and hateful towards youtube for deleting a lot of quality music videos and other old media clips....but i'm powerless to change it as i'm just an ordinary person who has no power to change things.

    Speaking of John's originals, I take this opportunity to give you the original Across The Universe, from the for-charity album, before Phil Spector ruined it. Simple and charming. Enjoy!

    No

    This is you being angry at the wrong people.

    You should be angry at the politicians who rewrote copyright law to favor large corporations who own musical rights for over a century, not at youtube for having to enforce those rules.

    The children of dead artists and assorted corporations have no need to squeeze money out of rights for over a century.

    You can stop hating on YouTube over that, just so you know.  They don't own the rights to John Lennon's masters, so they don't get to make that decision. 

    Yoko sold John's masters to Sony, and they get to decide which version of his songs are allowed on YouTube.  You can hate on Yoko and / or Sony for that.

    I prefer the original myself and the remastered as an alternative view, users posting copyrighted works well that is a bit different that is why I use links because I respect the artist and their works and I hope the same for myself...

    Yep, you can ad that to an ever growing list of reasons to hate y_utube. It's okay to let them die. Do you remember AOL (America On Line)? No? Exactly!

    Yup, I don't like them. They deleted my channel because of conservatives comments I left on a bunch of videos. Eff 'em now and eff 'em later too.
