Open Question: Warner Music Group making false claims, wrecking the site, and taking all the fun out of YouTube?

I'm furious. and yes, i have asked many questions about youtube & copyright before. But there's something on that site that really, really has gotten me ticked off, and is the big red cherry on top of all of youtube's problems- warnermusicgroup. ok, so here's the story: Since December (around christmas time) warnermusicgroup came up with a plan and decided to make a deal with youtube and promote their site to benifit them. and unfortunatally, gulible youtube falls for it. I knew from the start that this was not good move that youtube made. and now, as it turns out, WMG now has complete power over their site. meaning, they file complaints on any video they see with audio content "just because." and they even take credit for it that it's their video, when it's not. here's an example: Slipknot- Psychosocial. i click on the thumbnail, and a big red banner comes up across the screen saying "this video is no longer availible do to a copyright claim by WMG."saying "a copyright claim by WMG" is a flat out lie. since when did warnermusicgroup become the boss over roadrunnerrecords? hmmm...last time i checked a Slipknot CD i didn't see any label on it that said "belongs to warnermusicgroup." i only saw a red label that had roadrunnerrecords written on it, which are the true rightful owners of that content. Roadrunnerrecords uploaded those videos themselves in their own interest, warnermusicgroup has no right to claim that it's their's. the Slipknot vids were a smash hit to both RRR and youtube. but now, nobody can see they're sucess thanks to our good friends at warner. I want to know, how is this in any way "benifiting" youtube? youtube isn't benifiting anything, warnermusicgroup is destroying it. There are already hundreds of thousands of unfixed problems on youtube already, and as far as I'm concerned, WMG isn't helping. They're just making it worse. Now it's almost impossible to upload something with a song. even if it's something just as simple as "happy birthday to you." now don't be telling me "you need permission to upload a copyrighted song on youtube or else it's illegal....eeeheheheheh kiss my @$$. I've seen that answer litterally millions of times. warner is just using that as an excuse to take away videos. again, how is this benifiting youtube? HELLO????!!!!! it's not!!! if the people of youtube don't like what warner is doing, how is it benifiting their site? does warnermusicgroup not know how much hate videos they are getting? i have seen about 500 videos already of slideshows with big middle fingers pointing at WMG. Warner are just a bunch of greedy pricks that only care about money. and really, they are just scamming youtube out of business. I guess they really want us to use audioswap, since only crappy songs are on there. i guess that's why those songs are in audioswap=/. audioswap is just classical, country, and jibberish crap that no one f**kin listens to anymore. WMG blows. they seriously need to tear that deal up and just throw it in the fireplace already and let everyone piss on it. okay, maybe i went too far, but my point is, WMG are just f**king youtube up. badley. i really do think this has gone out of control, if WMG is taking over youtube's site, why don't they just call themselves WarnerTube or something.
