When a user of the video sharing website uploads a movie, YouTube expects the music that goes along with the video to have some kind of copyright ownership by the uploader. Most of the time, this is simply not the case, as many people upload videos with music that is completely copyrighted through various record labels. Now, Google is searching through YouTube, and instead of removing the video all together, they are disabling the copyright infringed audio that plays along with it. At this point in time, many fan-made videos, as well as some music videos, have no audio on them. This of course makes some things on the very popular video sharing site hard to understand while watching.
