Really, they have nobody to blame but themselves. Music execs, in the form of the RIAA and MPAA, mistakenly believing that "infringement" can be determined automatically, have forced a more-or-less automated request-and-takedown system on Youtube. That this automated system can be used against their own product should come as no surprise to anyone who has thought about it for 10 minutes or so.


Meanwhile, 13-year-old users want to know how music execs brought down YouTube videos they made.
