Copywriting got to the Olympics - IOC bans video on Youtube

Today I discovered that most of the video recordings from the Olympics on Youtube, referred to in the Russian-language media, are no longer available due to copyright infringement. The copyright holder blocking access to the recordings of the broadcasts is the International Olympic Committee.

For example, when you try to watch a video about the dead Georgian sleigh rider Nodar Kumaritashvili, the following message appears:

This video is no longer available due to copyright claims received from the International Olympic Committee.

I understand perfectly well that the rights to broadcast the Olympics were purchased by a huge number of television channels for crazy money. That even for the NBC channel, which paid more than $ 2 billion for it (which is almost three times more than in previous games), the broadcast will be unprofitable.

I have no way to watch television broadcasts, even on a sports box. And now, because of the copyright holder, it will not work to watch the missed moments. At this pace, it remains to tweak the Olympic Charter a bit and start taking money for the use of rings and all other symbols. Sad
