Requesting video take downs is of benefit to no one.
If people have specific issues. Lets come up with ideas to solve them instead of just complaining.

Well, those videos are
theirs, they filmed, edited, and published them in a medium of their choice (youtube). Sounds like you're the one fighting to call something yours, when it's clearly not.
If we're giving out gold stars for "spreading the word of FIRST" - who would you give more credit to...
A) The teams filming, editing, and uploading events - who work with the admins of TBA to link match results to match video.
or
B) Someone using a bot to download videos from youtube, upload them to a Vimeo account, and serving them on a superfluous website laden with ads.
If your view is that re-uploading videos to a separate account is beneficial - knock yourself out. But to do so without the permission of the creator (in this case the explicit disapproval of the creator), isn't the proper way to go about it. I know that team 25 has purposely not published their match video from Hatboro since they don't want you to rip and re-upload it. That's not a net gain for the FIRST community.
