RE: UC Berkeley classes on YouTube

["Margaret Landesman" <margaret.landesman@utah.edu>]

We are specifically warning our faculty that there is no 
guarantee that what they put up will not disappear without 
warning.  It is perhaps an opportunity to suggest copies in our 
I.R.

In playing with our iTunesU site and the related info, 
documentation, etc. - I note that I am getting, only too often, 
the same old "can't find this page" and "you have not 
authenticated" (when I already did) stuff. And that I can't find 
today what I know I read yesterday,

Has YouTube said anything about their plans for preservation of
the videos they recruit and present?
