Google CEO Eric Schmidt asked on-camera September 4th why the Live Action Films videos were removed from YouTube!

Updated link...

On August 27, 2008 we called Google (who runs YouTube) to discuss why our videos were removed. We were told to complete an online dispute form, which we did that day. However,YouTube has not responded after two weeks and has not told us why the video were removed.

Why YouTube Must Stop Censorship of the Videos

1) The content of the videos does not violate YouTube standards. In fact, two of the videos that were taken down remain on the channels of YouTube users.
2) YouTube has restored removed videos before, usually in response to public outcries for fairness.
3) People like you will help us pressure YouTube to remain a non-ideological, fair, and free medium for communication.
