Find dead youtube pages?

April 22, 2010 1:31 PM

Youtube filter: how do I find pages for videos on youtube that have been taken fown for DMCA violations?

There is a bunch of buzz about the Downfall parodies, but every one I click on is still there, playing away. What I really want to find, for an example in a presentation, is a video that has been removed, but whose page still has comments, tags, and views listed. Any ideas?

Best answer: Not quite exactly sure what you're asking, but here's a downfall parody video that was taken down, and here's the same video's comments, via Google Cache.

Best answer: (I found that by searching via Google: downfall parody site:youtube.com .. That gave a list of links to youtube videos, some of which had been taken down. But the cache still preserved the original video page)

Response by poster: Google cache saves the day again. I guess I didn't I click on enough of the google results to find a pulled one. Thank!
