I’ve noticed an unfortunate trend for awesome scenes from movies to be posted to Youtube with crappy music dubbed over them - not music videos like AMVs where the video is edited to fit the song, but where the person felt some song “just totally fits” with a scene and sticks the two together as-is. Is this just a case of the videos without the music dubbed over them getting pulled, or an annoying fan thing?

Annoying fan thing. Sometimes, an awesome fan thing. The Hellsing opener/“Man in the Box” mashup is awesome. [See for yourself.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqHBUZGsF0w)

Granted, others … not so much.

I can’t find a clip of the “You’ve Got AIDS” barbershop quartet from Family Guy.

Viacom (which is CBS, Comedy Central, Nick, etc) is currently suing Google/Youtube for…ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Their position is that YouTube’s entire business model is copyright infringement, whereas Google/YouTube’s position is they are covered under the DMCA, which puts the burden on the copyright holder to issue takedown notices. I’m sure it’s a constant struggle.
