Ich hab in der Zwischenzeit etwas aus einem Interview mit Rupert Murdoch
gefunden (FOX Network, SKY Media etc. etc.), was recht Sinn macht:

~~~~~~~~~
�The current days of the internet will soon be over.�

But it's not just establishment newspapers that are struggling to survive -
social networking websites like Twitter and corporate online video giant
You Tube are also deep in the red. Apparently, paying out millions in server
fees for half the population of the planet to watch clips of cute puppies
isn't a sustainable business model.

This is why You Tube is being forced to pursue lucrative partnerships with
giant production studios and broadcasters, at the expense of user generated
content which has been relegated to a sub-section of its website, taking the
"You" out of You Tube altogether.

{und jetzt der Knaller:}

Content that may be deemed harmful to You Tube's corporate agenda and its
multi-million dollar partnership deals, [...] is being systematically erased
from You Tube's website under the pretext of flimsy copyright infringement
claims.
~~~~~~~~~

Weil das Lied extrem konsum- und gesellschaftskritisch ist, muss man
sich also nicht wundern.
