Google cleaning up YouTube

Google's gone berserk and hurting its own after having spent USD 1.6 billion on buying up YouTube for its vast pirated library of videos and the community.

What is it thinking by removing most of the videos that the community is loves YouTube for. I can understand Google being finicky about copyrights issues with it becoming their responsibility after having taken over, but then, what the heck is the whole point of buying up YouTube in the first place if cleaning up what the YouTube community loves is what they wanted to do?

It is over 30,000 videos that have been deleted from YouTube's database. That's one huge loss for YouTube enthusiasts and I'm sure there are more deletions lined up for near future.

How's the community gonna take it is the question that Google must think about, and fast!
