It seems much more likely that Universal has something automatically flagging everything with "Kanye West" in the title then that there is some kind of conspiracy.


I find this the most likely case, but it highlights the fact that UMG is probably flagging these videos without a person actually looking at any of the results (something a lot of people have known/suspected for a while).

Hopefully they can sue the ass off of UMG for this, and bring to light how the flippant attitudes of the media industry towards the law when they feel that they are owed something.


We're floating conspiracy theories without a shred of evidence here now?

I've deleted my comments, the discussion would go no where as my point was pretty dumb. What I was trying to say is that assuming what he says his true ("Universal Censors Megaupload") that it's much more likely he has paid for that to happen than it is UMG have decided this video is a big threat to their business and they must sabotage it being "viral". The latter is completely absurd, the former is in my eyes much more likely.

Personally I believe that it's an automated system that it's triggered when a video reaches a specific view threshhold, but he discounted this with his claim it's intentional.
