Impossible to link to YouTube videos?

I can't seem to indirectly link to YouTube videos ( that are mine, of course ). It says there's a problem with the URL, but I copy/pasted the URL directly. Does AMVorg not allow linking to YouTube, or are the URLs to their videos just too awkward to link to?

..Apparently, saying the site name is a bad thing.. So I'll just assume that the site, itself, is illegal here. Mm'k, yeah.

technically, you're not supposed to upload your AMVs to youtub.

And you'd figure they'd crack down on that, when most of their "Top Favorites" and "Top Rated" vids are episode uploads and AMVs.

I know though, I didn't realise that AMVorg didn't allow linking or mention of such though.

The only thing allowed there is camwhoring withought copyrighted music playing in the background. It fits with the clientel. All it really takes is a few dozen people with some free time to flag 90% of what's up there in legal-sounding english and the site will either collapse or go nova. I doubt their servers could handle more than a few thousand flags a minute... Too bad the people that do stuff like that tend to favor that place :/
