Just having a quick browse through youtube. Quite a lot of interesting stuff on there:
Farmers arming to strike break in 1933:
A fight breaking out between steelworkers and carpenters as scabs try the cross a picket line:
Teacher's on strike September this year:
Students out supporting them:
South Korean evictions:
object embedding is disabled for nearly everyone to avoid nastiness, but if you link to a video we can post them up here for you.

Don't see why not. I imagine they're permanent, been bought by Google so doubt they'd run out of space.
If there's a way to download it'd be good to have a backup of anything particularly good as well though.

there's a firefox extension which allows you to save to disk embedded media, can't remember the name though (i think it was a top 10 dl a week ago though)

How come none of these will play for me? Is it cos my browser's slow at streaming, and if so, how come it works when I stream direct from the site?

YouTube cuts 30,000 illegal clips
Video-sharing service YouTube has wiped nearly 30,000 files from its website after Japanese media companies said their copyright was being infringed.
Interesting that this happened just after google took over.

Amateur 'video bloggers' under threat from EU broadcast rules
By Adam Sherwin, Media CorrespondentTHE Government is seeking to prevent an EU directive that could extend broadcasting regulations to the internet, hitting popular video-sharing websites such as YouTube.
The European Commission proposal would require websites and mobile phone services that feature video images to conform to standards laid down in Brussels.
Ministers fear that the directive would hit not only successful sites such as YouTube but also amateur “video bloggers” who post material on their own sites. Personal websites would have to be licensed as a “television-like service”.
There must be loads more of these around...
