Ribaro, a prominent Macedonian (video) blogger, reports that his newest video was taken down by Youtube after a copyright claim made by another user. The video is a commentary supporting the student protests in Macedonia made days after the second protest on 10.12.2014.
Ribaro's videos are parody, mostly on important current events in the country, and our copyright law allows for use of any work in a parody without special permission from the author. I think the same goes for the US law (assuming that Youtube uses US law as basis for decisions).
The video is, of course, available elsewhere: vimeo link; other youtube link.
This a second case of censorship related to the biggest student protest in Macedonia that aims at preserving autonomy of universities.
