<<Your creativity isn’t bound by a time limit, so why should your video uploads be? Back in July we raised the upload limit to 15 minutes for all users. Starting today, we’ll begin allowing selected users with a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines and our copyright rules to upload videos that are longer than 15 minutes.>>

I have it to,

The screenshot posted by Websonic says in one place "Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes" but in another place it says "Videos can be ... Up to 15 minutes in length".

Haha, yes noticed that too..... :-)

It's strange that they don't say exactly how long. Maybe it's like gmail's ever increasing size, except it varies from user to user based on how well they get along with copyright bullshit

So let me see. Copyright infringement is OK under 15 minutes, but not above?

Well YouTube, you tell me! You once disabled longer videos yourself... in the beginning it was possible already on your site!

I guess the idea is that you can't just upload full movies, perhaps one typical case of what they think of as infringing. It's still completely imperfect, of course... I can have longer content that I fully own, and in return, I may have shorter content which people would consider infringement.
