    ya know, not to get off on a commentary....
    I think many of these sites such as youtube or myspace etc, as long as they try to limit the free flow of internet accessability people will find other venues to find this information (in this case videos). I can understand the privacy and copywrite laws, but in terms of compilations and true highlight mixes people make...you walk a very thin line on what is original material. If youtube wants to be a site for video blogs and movie trailers... they may go the way of the dinosaurs. In the meantime, sites like EPL Talk with forums will allow users to find the content they desire. If I were a company I would fight unfair laws in hopes to maintain credibility. Where do we all go when we want to see videos...

    The Robbo howler footage may have been removed for a different copyright infringement. I'm sure you all remember how funny (& ironic) it was that "Borat" was on the ad boards visible in the frame. I have searched for still pictures that I saw on the web the day or two after the match. Virtually no pics remain out there! I'm guessing that Foxfilms sent a cease & desist notice out to all news agencies. Anyone have any workable links to the hilarious flub kick?

    The Robbo howler footage is still on YouTube (see here). How much longer it'll be there, no one knows.


    Cheers,

    if the point of the Borat advertisement was to be caught by the camera during the action, i cant imagine they would mind being seen every single time someone watched the howler.
