If it's not a DMCA issue youtube will probably tell you to pound sand. Is there something illegal going on in the video? If it's just a student mouthing off about their school and what they don't like I don't see how the school can do anything about that. I'll try to not go too political here, but isn't that freedom of speech? I could be way off base on what I'm assuming the super's complaint is but I don't expect you to post the video.
I am curious how this turns out however.

Our Superintendent was informed of a particular video and now the task of getting it removed has trickled down to us. Tried looking through YouTube help and did a some web searching. But I haven't found any sort of contact email/page. I found YouTube's DMCA take down email address for DMCA requests, but this isn't really a DMCA issue. -- Joseph Simshauser [email protected] Technology Department Cahokia Unit School District 187 http://cusd187.stclair.k12.il.us/techweb/ "History is much like an Endless Waltz.
