I have noticed that a lot of vids end up "removed due to viacom been pi$$ed off" :(

problem now is that Christina Model will be seeing me as a stalker if they see how many times I watch her vids :lol: :naughty:

so they're are they going after the people who viewed the videos... why else would they want to know the user?

problem is it can be linked etc.... if they went after people, how would they if the person was looking for that video or not... and it only sounds like they're checking views, not searches.
