Apple kills long-time event archive on YouTube

Are you suggesting that the videos are not copyrighted, or that Apple is not the copyright owner?
Remember, copyright law gives the copyright owner the ability to place restrictions on the copying or reproducing of the protected work. The copyright owner does not need a good reason to prohibit posting, nor does the decision need to be in the copyright owner’s best interest.
Also keep in mind that infringement does not need to be for profit.
Suppose you were a photographer and created a mediocre photo (one with no commercial value). You wanted the photo hung in your office, and you didn’t want any other copies out there. It would be copyright infringement for someone else to post the image to a public website for all to enjoy. Even though they are not depriving you of sales, nor are they making money on your work. The law says that when it comes to posting, the copyright owner gets to decide, and their decision doesn’t have to be the most reasonable position possible. There are a few “fair use” exceptions, but keep in mind that the common language definition of “fair use” may not match the legal meaning.
So please explain why you think someone publicly posting Apple’s copyrighted video to a website (including YouTube) does not constitute a clear violation of copyright? -
