I hate exposure videos, I was very disappointed when I did a really nice trick last night and after I told people I wasn't going to show them how I did it, someone announced that that was fine, they'd just google it.
That said, it's a violation of people's rights to ban something like that. Even if you mean well doing it, it's simply not okay as a policy.
Imagine if other groups tried to do the same thing: video game proponents trying to get interviews between Oprah and Jack Thompson off the air, Mothers against violent videogames trying to get game trailers taken down. And you, of course say, "It's different."
No, it isn't. You're trying to shut down videos because they hurt our art, they'd be trying to shut down videos because they hurt their cause. What makes us special and where do you draw the line.
TL;DR violation of rights.
The thing is though, YouTube cannot remove the videos. It is the users own Audio and Video, therefore they can do whatever they like. I disagree with it also. I saw a tutorial on WPT by Boris Wild on YouTube (A very bad tutorial may I add) and I managed to persuade the user to remove the video.
Im ok with people revealing tricks like the Rising Card trick (DL Method) or the 21-Card trick and tricks you can get from a basic card magic book from the library because for many, it is a great place to start but for people to reveal marketed tricks is completely ridiculous. They dont even serve the trick justice or credit the creator. They make a RUBBISH tutorial video and it fistrates me to say that no-one can stop it.
