Simpsons on Youtube: A thing of the past?
Has anybody else noticed that almost every Simpsons clip on Youtube is now dead? I did a search for "simpsons" and out of the nine YouTube clips that came up, only one worked.

I know Fox has been clamping down on YT vids that are "copyrighted" by them, it's probably them finally getting a dedicated team on it.
It's all bullshit. It's not like anyone is posting full length episodes.
even snippets are copyrighted, AFAIK.
Yeah well, sharing moments we all remember is (*ad nauseum) all well and good-However.....I don't even ovte simpsons any more, cause the shit is played-
let's pray to Mustapha Cornelius, that the goddamn Daily Show, and Comedy Central, follows suit, all ya creativity-deprived, and, ya masters of some contextual spin, and really good tags and titles.......!
Down with a recap of last night's sports, or remakes of TV shows into mooovies, etc, etc etc, Halloween IVMMXX!!!!
Yeah, I don't vote for things like TDS and Robot Chicken either - It's all too easy to find those and post them. But sometime I do want to watch a classic clip from the Simpsons, and it will suck if I can't.
Not being a fan of the show anymore I can only see this as a good thing...
It's not just Simpsons, the Futuramas are pretty much gone too. We're going to need a "Groening Section" for the Deadpool
and what will become of the woohoo! channel?
Peter Griffin also has his neck in the guillotine.
That's a good question, firefly. I wonder what Krupo has to say about it.
They are also taking down mashups that involve simpsons clips...remember the Simpsons/Fox news mash I made sometime ago... well it violated copyright

well, isn't there a thing named "right of parody"?
Now I'm exceptionally glad I didn't go crazy with the Simpsons, Family guy or TDS. Its all gone and I don't think its coming back.
