Yeah.. screw n00btube and google.. fold and hand over details they gather using their spyware.. and n00btube.. what a sucky complete waste of bandwidth.
PRS.. stuff em.. another riaa style bunch of leeches who represent the interests of nobody but themselves. good riddance to music videos.. we don't even listen to the radio any more.. so all their "big acts" can now go rot in the obscurity enjoyed by the normal musicians who don't sign up to these suits big business scum record companies.

YouTube is actually blocked in other countries so we're lucky that Google are being complete fags.
Not sure about proxy stuff.
