YouTube Censors Two Knotty Boys

YouTube has pulled the Two Knotty Boys videos from their site. Considering all the other adult material floating about on there this is an unreasonable and obviously discriminatory act.Two Knotty Boys were kind enough to offer these videos up for public use under a Creative Commons license.

Videos like this are not pornographic, nor are they exploitative. They are educational and truly can save lives. Death from bondage is more common than the average person would ever suspect.

You can sign the petition below:

They have also asked that people host the videos wherever they can in order to keep this material in circulation. I’m hoping to be able to do that, so look for them here.

Meanwhile sign the petition and spread the word. Help the Two Knotty Boys, they deserve our support.

    Someone *just* uploaded a torrent with the full set of videos from Two Knotty Boys

    Here’s the comment from the Two Knotty Boys (and flaming fucking death to the
    United States of Disney and asshole complainers at YouTube!):

    [Quote]
    Our YouTube videos have been taken down and our account dumped. We had
    over 3,000 subscribers, 70 videos and over 7 million views. No nudity,
    nothing salacious or pornographic, just hand ties and knots set to
    music and overdubbed voice — to much for YouTube to handle, I guess?

    In truth all it takes is a handful of people flagging to kick off a
    video, three videos down and your out. We stopped posting videos a
    month ago to avoid losing the account and still we were taken down.

    Our call to you all…

    If you have any of our videos, start an account and POST THEM! If you
    have bandwidth stick them up on your site (use them to get more
    traffic – we don’t care). Give them away, make DVDs, just don’t charge
    for them (no paysites).

    We want them to stay free, now and years to come!

    I’m seriously bummed!!

    If you’re on a crappy dial-up and you get errors in the download, these PAR2 files
    will help. You do NOT need these files if you got the RARs and they extract OK.

    I also included 2% worth of recovery blocks inside the RARs when I RARed them up,
    so there are two different ways to correct download / transmission errors. If you
    only had a few errors, open up WinRAR and browse to the downloaded files. SELECT
    the ones that had errors during extraction and hit the REPAIR button or the TOOLS
    - REPAIR ARCHIVE Alt+R option to repair them. I’ve used this feature before, but
    it’s dicey and doesn’t always correct the files.

    The first .par2 file is a quick check file, and anyone with a squirrely connection
    should grab it to make sure that the RARs are OK. It will tell you how many extra
    recovery blocks you need to download if you had errors.
