Where do videos go when they "die" or are booted off YouTube for copyright infringement?
Meet YouTomb.
Created by a group of MIT students, the virtual video graveyard combs through Google's data and archives information about clips that have been removed from YouTube.
Banned clips aren't available for viewing or download on YouTomb -- that's not the purpose of the site, says Dean Jansen, one of project creators.
"We're not interested in bootlegged videos of [anime show] Naruto that got taken down," said Jansen in a phone interview Tuesday. "It's about fair use, and remixes or performances forced off YouTube."
