Recently, the McCain campaign asked YouTube to stop taking down content due to copyright concerns:

The letter opens by talking about how important YouTube has been for the campaign's efforts to get out copies of commercials, speeches, etc., but notes that the site's usefulness is being curtailed by "overreaching copyright claims."

YouTube's response? Due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, YouTube has to take down such content to avoid lawsuits. Want to know who voted for the DMCA? That one.
