Sically, they claim ownership of the video, which requires full name. Then the uploaded is given a letter basically saying “Mithveaen claimed ownership of this video.” Then the uploaded gives the name to police, where they get busted. IDIOTIC.

Oh StarWisher, you'll love this. Some geniuses, in trying to get YouTube videos of their rioting in Vancouver taken off of YouTube, some people have actually identified themselves. The stupidity of these people just keeps increasing.
Wait …huh? Ha ha. So they don't post anything on Facebook, because that would be stupid. But posting on YouTube a request to take the video down for whatever reason that shows them in the act, that's hilarious. These kids really need to brush up on what the Canadian equivalent of the 1st Amendment is all about, because I don't think they quite get it.
I think he might have taken it down, but Jason Li had a video up there where he wasn't really apologizing, just kinda explaining himself and saying the same things basically that Camille chick originally said. Do you have any videos of where the doofuses are actually saying get this down now?

Here’s the more technical explanation: Vancouver rioters accidentally identify themselves
Finally, copyright claims everyone can agree with
Jesse Brown – Tuesday, Jul 12
Here’s a copyright story that has nothing to do with music downloads or movie piracy.
As was widely reported following the Vancouver hockey riots, social media was used to crowdsource a vigilante effort to identify the jerks who tore up their own city. Sites like Identifyrioters.com were launched to post pictures of the mayhem. They encourage users to click an “I know who this is!” button to link a pic to a person. Allegations are not posted publicly. They’re forwarded to the cops, who can follow up and see if the names fit the pics. Facebook also hosted similar armchair vigilante efforts, and video of the carnage was posted and scrutinized several sites. The online exposure was such that some rioters turned themselves in after finding their douchebaggery digitally documented.
But some of the hooligans exposed on Youtube found a clever way to get the video removed—copyright claims. Under Youtube’s “Notice and Takedown” policy, all you need to do is claim you own the rights to a video and demand that it be removed, and Youtube will remove it. The video’s uploader will be informed of the allegation and then have a chance to challenge it.
But here’s the rub: in order to claim ownership of a video’s copyright, you have to identify yourself. And when Youtube informs the uploader that they’re being accused of a copyright violation, they have to tell them who their accuser is. So rioters are indirectly handing their names over to the very people who were trying to identify them.
Dave Texieria of Port Coquitlam runs the site canucksriot2011.com. He posted a video of a guy getting hit in the groin with a stun grenade. Youtube told him “Flashing Nut Shot” was removed due to a copyright complaint filed by a certain individual. Texieria simply forwarded the complainer’s name to the police.
Yay, Internet!

Very funny. And I learned a new word in the process. I wonder if it will make it into the next spelling bee championship.

Hey mr. S – did you watch the MLB All-Star game last night? Your boy Jose Bautista made an incredible catch in the right field corner.
Here is the vid. I hope you don't get sea sick watching it. Some schmuck with a video camera recorded it off of his TV.
In any event, when is his contract up? He would look awesome in pinstripes.

I caught parts of the game. That was one nice catch. I loved this guy’s comment: How F***ing hard is it to hold a camera straight?” Oh, and he signed a new contract in Toronto after last year. The pinstripes clash with his eyes.
Edit: He's with us till 2015

I love how you never mention you guys are the only guys to ever blow a 3-0 series lead (and to Boston, of all people?), so I don’t buy that. You guys pay double the closest teams payroll, and you can win. Boo-Hoo.

Really? That's the best you got? Blowing the 3-0 lead? No wonder the Expos left Canada.
When you are in the WS 40 times, some “first” is bound to happen to you. Either we were going to be the first to overcome a 3-0 lead or the first to choke on same.
As for the payroll argument. Puh-lease.
Winning breeds success.
Success breeds $$$$$.
$$$$ breeds winning.
Repeat…

*bullet through the heart* Ouch!
It didn't even happen in the WS, dude! It happened in the ALCS.
And dude, no salary cap is a recipe for labour disputes. If there hadn't been a strike, we would have won that damn trophy (3rd time in a row in Canada!!), so there!!
Edit: You also have the only owner to get suspended by the MLB

Silly me. I should have said we've made the playoffs 49 times. So let's see, we've been a franchise for 107 years (not counting this year) and have made the postseason 49 times. By my math, that's a little over 45%.
So yeah, the odds are still with us on those “firsts”. Agreed?
And to think this whole conversation started when I complimented one of your players. See what happens when you poke the sleeping bear?

I have to agree on the odds, but no taking cheap shots at the Expos. And all I was saying is that because of my player, we will beat you on the weekend. Agreed? (Actually, I am a Yankees fan. I just have to support the Jays. Oh, and congrats to Jeter on 3000.)

Hands off the Expos – couldn't agree more.
I don't know if I ever told you this, but my dad took us to an Expos game when I was 14. My brother was a Dodgers fan at the time, so dad bought tickets to see them play up in Montreal. I remember thinking the stadium and the city were beautiful.
It was a great day.
