I just noticed that too. What grounds would Pharmstrong's lawyers have?
you barely need any grounds. Its incredibly easy to get youtube video's removed. one complaint literally and they get taken off. YOu certainly dont need any legal action or threats to get videos off youtube. takes five minutes, thats all.
Posters of videos have virtually no control, and there is pretty much no way of contacting youtube and getting them back up. they block every attempt at contact.

I seriously hope this isn't what happened.....
Although, I wouldn't be surprised if BPC and his ilk have been emailing youtube incessantly about cursing etc in order to try to get the vids shut down...
like i say, doesnt even take that much effort. removing a youtube video is in chapter 1 of easy things to do on the internet. In the case of these simply a matter of flagging it and selecting the "infringes my rights" button.. youtube review them pretty much straight away and 99% of the time remove the video
I never found them funny, but they were always close enough to the nerve to be likely to be deleted. they were certainly slanderous
