YouTube links

Why are YouTube links given the axe in the Non-Prince forum? To my knowledge, YouTube is a legal site and the videos are merely streamed. I can understand the fear of links to Prince videos being posted because Prince has a history of iciness with fansites, but what is the issue with posting links to other artists' videos?

Could one of the moderators please explain?

I don't get it either. Thus far, it's been links to promotional videos which are intended to promote the artists material. If it were DVD rips of commercial concert footage, I would understand.

that thread sounds more like it was in reference to the prince youtube b.s. than stuff posted elsewhere.
