I don't watch the trash either, I put them on pause and flag & report them all. I flagged that entire list today, my mouse clicking hand got tired & sore but I'm doing it again tommorow. These vids are disgusting & must be taken down, I'd hate for Michael's children to ever see this filth!

A few of the videos on the list have already been removed. Way too few, but I guess this is the start and it is better than nothing. What I could not believe though was that Sony has had a few of the videos blocked in my country "on copyright grounds". Apparently they contain Michael's music or that of some other Sony artist. This means that I am unable to flag these videos. I can't understand why Sony had these videos not simply removed all together. If they are able to have them blocked, they must be able to have them removed. It seems to me that they are only interested in protecting their copyright, but do not care if their artists are being viciously attacked and smeared as individuals.

Iris, I would not get mad at Sony about this. I am only guessing, but perhaps this is just one way for YT to block these videos, by using the Sony copyright excuse. No matter what the reason, at least they are being blocked.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the weekend cleanup! We will do it again next month.

You're probably right about this Mal. I may have got myself way too worked up about this. If I had had any sense I would at least have kept track of what videos were being blocked (which I didn't), then asked someone to check if they are being blocked elsewhere too. Instead I just got angry about not being able to flag them. Sorry! ;D

No problem Iris! I don't know for sure either. But it will be best for all of us, if we don't jump to the wrong conclusions and blame Sony, if that's not the case at all. Personally, I don't like all the Sony bashing. Some fans still complain that they will do anything for a buck, but yet if it wasn't for Sony, we would never have heard Michael's album or get to see the new videos being made, and his Estate and children wouldn't benefit either.
The results of our weekend clean-up are being tallied right now, and as soon as I get that info, me or Dawn will post it here.
