"YouTube Yanks Fair-Use Protest Video at Behest of International Olympic Committee"

From the Miro blog:

Last Thursday night, protesters projected human rights images including: monks being arrested, olympic rings turning into handcuffs, and so on, onto the side of the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan. Video of this event was uploaded to YouTube, and has since been removed at the request of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The video is a crystal clear case of fair use —it’s 100% legal and non-infringing— and the IOC has absolutely no right to force the video out of view.

We often recommend archive.org as a video-hosting site that's unlikely to bow to illegitimate pressure, but in the end it's hard to say just where you could host a video with no fear of a takedown.
