Comedy Central Request That Videos Be Removed

The soon to be acquired, YouTube, has While some might start questioning the viability of YouTube - if they'll continue to receive such requests - I tend to look at this as a positive for the company. A positive, I hear you ask? If you think about it, each time YouTube receives one of these requests, it learns two things:

The videos in question are popular enough that the creators take the time to ask YouTube to remove them.

They know the content is of value to viewers and the creators, so they can turn the request into an opportunity to set-up a formal arrangement.

On the flip-side, the video creators get a free market research tool in YouTube. They get to test what works and what doesn't, knowing that the moment their content becomes popular, they can contact YouTube and strike up a deal. YouTube just became the new testing ground for any company's video campaign!
