The driver of the video mentioned in my earlier post (xLewisShots) has complained to YouTube about alleged privacy violation, citing a part where the number plate is visible and part where his face is visible. I have pixellated the bit where his face could be seen and reposted with a link to a copy of the original YouTube comments on my blog.

I have left the registration number in as that is not personally identifiable information. It will be interesting to see what YouTube's reaction is regarding the registration number. Anyone else got experience of that?...

Well, YouTube has removed both the original video and the version that I censored to hide the guy's face. They have not actually given the reason for taking the second of the videos down. The only reason I can think of is that they consider the visibility of the registration number to be a privacy violation. Anyone know what is the best thing to do now?

I have added a blog article about it: http://www.happycyclist.org/?p=453

PM user rosickyize and ask them to make public the copy they took. YouTube are just avoiding conflict over the issue, you are perfectly entitled to upload the video with his face and with his registration number.

Maybe a few more of us will upload this one for you if you ask...

You can always put it on Vimeo as well.

If it was just some nonce on the phone, I'd not be too bothered, but that was homicidally bad driving. I would be unwilling to let his index get out of google and off that video.

At the end of the day YouTube can pull what they want from their site, the driver may give up when he has multiple complaints to make. At the moment Mr Vegetable's upload on Vimeo is on the top of Google's search results for me. I've got a copy locally in case I decide to upload it - with some additional stills of the guys face.
 
Revenge is sweet?

Your guy (xLewisShots) has gaming videos on his channel. These have previously been taken down as Copyright.

You don't own the Copyright to the images - that belongs to the Designers.

Get his videos taken down?

Sounds like a good idea, but YouTube don't accept complaints from third parties, so it might be difficult.

Does he know that?

One here on one of mine.

What a dick - and due to how the lights are sequenced, I can get most of the way down the road without anything behind me, yet i'm riding too far from the kerb, most of it in a cycle lane. I only move out in case something is taking the first exit and doesn't look before hand as it's a poorly designed cycle lane down at the roundabout.
