From TechCrunch:
YouTube has been testing a new way of combating copyright violations on the site – removing the audio, leaving the video. The result is a wasteland of music videos that are creepily silent.
Untiil recently, the copyright holder was able to choose between having the whole file removed or making revenue off of ads placed on the content.

This actually happened to me yesterday, and I was severely pissed.
On a video I went to with the same problem I found these comments

If you make video of, lets say, you skating and put some punk music over it, I think that's good publicity to the artist, and you didn't get to the video searching for the song.
That's different from putting a video with the name "track – artist" and put some photos in the back.
I think that's what pisses the music industry because you can search for a song and listen to it for free. |

Wow, that's just one notch away from being "Evil".
People who used AudioSwap were making a deliberate choice to use properly licensed music. Google was being very deceptive if they had not obtained ongoing rights to use this music for this purpose, and did not disclose this at the time of the AudioSwap. |
