Censorship by Youtube/Google?

The following two links were links to segments of a performance by comedian Lewis Black on a HBO special, posted on Youtube.

I shared these links with friends in my personal e-mailbox and received replies stating that they enjoyed the vids. Today if you try to access these links you will receive the following message.

This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

Both of these videos are not very flattering to George Bush, anti-evolutionist or the religious right. I have e-mailed links from Youtube on occasion without problem; and the remainder of Black's HBO special has not been removed. This whole business smacks of censorship. This message is being transmitted on a Google Blog; a sort of test of freedom of speech.

If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.
