YouTube's ContentID system blocks videos alleged to infringe on copyright. Lately it has been coming down on a great many highly visible, legitimate videos. YouTube is apparently taking its time in resolving the problem.
Several popular YouTube accounts, including those belonging to 'MIT OpenCourseWare' and the 'Blender Foundation,' have had all their videos blocked. People who try to access the videos are informed that they are not available in their country, suggesting that YouTube's piracy filters have been triggered. It's unclear, however, who or what is to blame.

Yes and no. I am fine with it for browser side scripting to make pages interactive without reloading. Then the duck tape programmers got a hold of it to create entire applications or treat it as a VM. That is madness. They took it too far. I mean there are literally thousands of "skilled" programmers who can hammer out glue code and even new code but have ZERO understanding of machine architecture or OS interaction. They live at the top of the stack and don't see the horrendous mess underneath.
