YouTube's Unspoken Linking Policy For Copyright Infringers

Hackajar writes "Valleywag has an interesting post detailing YouTube's new way to deal with copyrighted music videos, removing embed tags and linking it to the official content on site. What's significant here is the lack of video removal by YouTube staff. From the post, "Uploads of music videos from the band by non-official sources now carry a link reading "Contains content from [insert studio here]"". They use a Modest Mouse music video from a third party to illustrate the new change."

I feel like I got rickrolled.
The supposed "change" was not on the example page provided, and I was tricked into watching the first 30 seconds of that FSM-awful crap before I stopped looking and hit the back button.
