Maybe offtopic, but there's also a possibility that in Russia Skype will be forbidden.
What can i say is LOL. That's so gay.

Now check it again from the position of a phone company which puts tons of money into the technologies...

YouTube has definately gone down since Google took over.  Some things, which seem to cause problems for us, I actually don't mind.  Such as the usage of certain music in videos, which later end up being taken off.  That I do not have a problem with, as almost all of us use music in our videos which aren't necessarily legit.

What I do have a problem with, is the constant maintainance schedules, yet, I see nothing changing, apart from a few new features being added, which, let's face it, aren't actually needed.  What we need is for YouTube to become what it was before.  Right now, the YouTube community is extremely slow.  A video can take "forever" to load sometimes.

Despite that, like I said at another forum, I will just keep my thoughts on YouTube as if they are still a work in progress.  I'll give them about 1 - 2 years to see if anything changes for the better.  If it doesn't, then I may just change my mind.  Who knows, the guys behind the scenes may have a host of surprising things yet to be done, so only time will tell.

So, they loose about 30 % of the total from their earn. I know it's pretty sucky for them but do you know how're the telephone prices from the providers? Oh, wait, yes, It's Skype's fault that Skype has cheaper price in 1.5/2.0 times than the regular provider.....Oh, by the way, i remember on famous russian tracker there was a thread about provider's prices of Stream at the Katherineburg......cheaper would be not having telephone at all.

Start listening to old, shitty music like me. The type of music you'd see a guy sell in form of cassette tapes in his trunk. The type of music whom nobody gives a crap about anymore.

I'm loving the solution someone found to the music thing.. somebody posted it on Argonath forums awhile back. Managed to get every single one of my movies back with full sound.

[Frederick]

Panda, can you link us up please? 

[Pandalink]

Link.

[Frederick]

That does indeed work Panda.  Thanks for that. 

Ater watching that video you posted, I decided to go back to watch one of my friends' dancing videos, and I saw that he had that same quote in his description, and his music is not muted. 

[SargentJosh]

i found a better solution:

In your describtion/credits/begining of the movie.

Music in this video is not of the uploaders creation.

Details of music used:

<Here put, record label, band/singer, year made and Copyright>

"f**king thing sucks."

I don't honestly care about the music (Yes I do listen music from old cassettes sometimes ) as I have CDs of my favourite bands. It just pisses me off when Chase or Kitsune sends me a video and I get "This video is not allowed in your country or domain" or whatever the message was.

[Frederick]

That's another good idea Josh, as I believe as long as there is credits to the singer(s) and producer(s) of the song, somewhere in the video or description, there is a pretty good chance it won't get muted.

Easy way to solve, if you have Firefox then download and install the FoxyProxy add-on. It's easy enough to use, I get my ip's that I want to use from here and then I add them to FoxyProxy. As far as I know using a proxy is not illegal as I think internet law states that a person has the right to protect their identity. But if you want to use it for other reasons such as bypassing country restrictions on youtube then that might be different, and it's up to you if you want to do it. Personally, I do it.

Skype has no price it allows to call for free... Skype calls do mostly the international calls... International calls are not expensive by phone as well...

Internet is a paradise for those who do not want to pay money... All those who suggest resources do use the products of other companies... For phone companies its the same as mr.Altair worked but did not get money... Will you like to work for nothing?

And Skype is not cheaper... For using Skype you need to buy minimum a computer... No any phone company does that...

[Altair_Carter]

The calls within-country boundries are also not free.....The Skype is free for inter-computer calls (AFAIK, if no tell me how :O )....
And, you say with telephone services international calls are also ain't expensive, so it means, that it's equal to Skype prices right? Well, in this case, how do telephone companies loose the money, if, as you said

For using Skype you need to buy minimum a computer

When it's cheaper to use telephone providers' prices, and it's on phone?
Also:

Will you like to work for nothing?

Hm, then explain, if Skype almost "work for nothing" how do they win in this case?
