Good post but you forgot to point out that his solution (going to You Tube) is no protection from his problem. I routinely download content from there using the Downloadhelper Firefox plug-in. With this software I can download anything from You Tube and post it anywhere I like including D-Tube. If this person's complaints were sincere, then not only does he not understand freedom, but he does not understand the Internet. However, I suspect he was just 'pitching a fit' strictly to drum up sympathy upvotes. Which, I bet he got a lot of.
BTW, the reason I routinely download content from You Tube is that with their censorship, you never know if a useful video will be available in the future. So, if it is good enough, I download it and archive it.
