YouTube strikes again

Don't you love it when your favorite source of entertainment, amusement, even education drops an adorable little note of fr*ck off:

Video unavailable

This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.

But, copyright claims could be easily resolved without ever terminating anything, or anyone. Instead of meeting every DMCA claim with an axe and bleeding good, quality content in the process, YouTube could just divert any monetization to its proven, rightful owner. If attribution is wanted, YouTube could insert short notice, saying something like "This content is owned by such-and-such copyright holder", and provide link to their web site, or YT channel.

But no; axe very fast, is automated, much law, wow. Look ma, no workers!

Usually, most music for me is just some pleasant background noise, no need to get upset about a particular interpretation, if they are all very similar to each other. This one, however, is part of the book, and it's the most sublime; in comparison, all the others are almost as good, but not quite. Luckily, original poster was kind enough, and persistent enough to already repost missing music.

On the side note, YT seems really desperate to be fishing for phones used by real people:

Verify to do more on YouTube

To add custom thumbnails, verify your phone number. 

BTW, choosing different playlist thumbnail worked in the past. Putting it behind a phone-wall is downright phishy, and sleazy.

The worst part? Google and -by extension- YT already have my phone number, and it's already verified because of 2FA.

MBAs seems all forget that a company has to be useful to own customers if they want their business in the long run, and with as few annoyances as possible. If company is getting more and more annoying, it's also getting less and less useful, and so customers will go to alternatives, no matter how big a company is, and how impossible it might seem to fail. OTOH, we had been in a downward spiral before; now, given that MBAs copy each other, we might be in for another.

Edit: tried to explain myself better.
