If you're wondering where a few thousand of YouTube's videos went, you must know that they deleted 29,549 video files. Why? Well, just like Pearl Harbour, you can thank the Japs for that after a Japanese entertainment group complained of copyright infringement.

Apparently, The Japan Society for Rights of Authors, found the clips composed from television shows, music videos and movies posted on YouTube's site without permission.

Most videos posted on YouTube are homemade, but the site also has loads of copyright material posted by individual users.
Now, you might think that removing 30,000 clips is a big deal, but since YouTube started in February 2005, they're now showing more than 100 million video clips per day!
