14 DAY TRIAL // Since the Google acquisition, YouTube caused a lot of headaches for the parent company, creating numerous lawsuits especially filed for the content uploaded on the website. As you surely know, the most well known case against YouTube concerns Viacom, the owner of MTV and Comedy Central. The company demanded Google to remove almost 100.000 clips from the page because Google doesn't pay for the clips and, although YouTube removed all the videos, it even sued the search giant. The lawsuit was reported a few days ago, Viacom accusing the online video sharing service for using their content without approval.
As I said, YouTube accepted Viacom's demand and removed 100.000 clips from the database but it seems like the deleted content is still available using an auxiliary product entitled Detultube. The service contains quite interesting features because it is able to display YouTube removed videos using a simple web based interface. Deultube displays random clips but is also able to search for a certain movie from the YouTube database using the movie ID included in the website link.
"The service, and others like it, could make YouTube's network an easy way to share and download even illicit video files that will quickly be pulled from the public portion of the site. It's also the sort of thing likely to cause even more angst among content owners, especially if visitors can still retrieve clips that have been the target of DMCA takedown notices," ars technical reported in an article.
Although the use of this service might look a little malicious, Delutube really shows us that YouTube's videos are not completely erased, allowing the company to restore the removed clips using a simple procedure. If you want to test this interesting service, you should click on this link.
