    Problems with cnn on youtube

    youtube won't let me watch cnn videos, but i can watch cnn videos on the cnn website.
    youtube says:
    This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.
    I live in the USA and i guess cnn is from the UK???

    has anyone else had this problem, or get this problem when they try to watch cnn videos.

    I got the same error, but I did find a link that may help explain why.

    Yeah, same here. I can however watch other youtube CNN videos, just not that one.
    You could be staying in a country like US, UK or India but may not be able to watch every video on YouTube – that’s because the content owners have allowed access to that video only from certain countries or geographic regions

    So, use Tor and change your country of origin until one works.

    man..youtube is really falling apart, some one must have just bought it....I don't know about this ccn error...HOWEVER, as of last night, the "search" button has been disabled, I tried on 3 different computers to make sure. this will limit thousands of videos that don't show up in the youtube que. a really really stupid move on their part in my opinion.

    Search works here, not signed in either. Even works on my phone.

    Here three!
    I would be really miffed if youtube search didn't work. I like being able to find what I'm looking for, quickly!
