INTERNET MARKETING

Is anyone else having problems watching videos at youtube?

Whenever I try to click on a video there I get a blank white page. When I try to watch a video that is hosted on youtube I get a "sorry, this video is no longer available message."

I tried accessing youtube on my other computer and encountered the same exact problem.

Hmmmm....

  I think the best question to ask is "Are they marketing videos or ones containing copyrighted film/music?"
  
  Some record companies are actually uploading their artists' latest video to Youtube while others are hunting them down and having them removed.
  
  A lot of videos from musicals has gone (anything written by Andrew Lloyd Webber seems to have been removed).
  
  There was even the recent court case against a person who uploaded a family video containing a copyrighted song being played on a CD player in the background.

  Martin,
  
  EVERY SINGLE video on youtube isn't loading. I can't even sign into the site.
  
  I am experiencing the same problem on 2 different computers and with 3 different browsers.
  
  If you check my myspace wso you'll notice that the video in the salesletter isn't loading.
  
  I'd really like to know whats going on.
  
  Thanks

Oh, and I just tried using the Opera browser and I got this message when I tried to watch a video:

"You tried to access the address http://www.youtube.com/cthru?key=ukK...TH0P7qMTT4fUw=, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working."

What the hell is going on??

I'm in the US and YouTube is working fine for me, including the video you linked to.

(I'm using Firefox 3.0 on a Mac if that matters)

Same problems I've been having as well. Youtube has been going through a lot of maintenance lately so I'm sure it's all related

  It doesn't matter what the video is....NOTHING WILL WORK.

Just tried it with a US-based proxy and it works fine. Maybe it's your ISP if both of the computers are on the same ISP...

  Okay, I got it.
  
  It looks like my IP was banned by youtube for some reason. Very strange considering I haven't used the site in over a month.

  Zachary,
  
  You have exactly the opposite problem to me. Youtube is blocked by the Turkish government, hence the proxy.
