YouTube, the video service provided by Google, contains a huge number of videos from all categories including sports, movies, entertainment, fun or even homemade movies. Because the product has millions of users that are continuously uploading new videos every day, the Australian authorities decided to block the service in all the schools from the Victoria state. It seems like it all started from a video uploaded by some students that recorded their assault over a 17 years old girl in Melbourne. The movie was extremely popular among students so the Education Services Minister decided to ban the service in almost 1.600 entertainment schools. Although facing a lot of troubles especially from Viacom with the removal of 100,000 videos off its site, YouTube is still running strong. Although the loss was quite important, YouTube's traffic was boosted just after the removal started so it's obvious that Google's service is quite a powerful product even without other partnerships.
