Perez kicked off YouTube

Blogging bitch-genius Perez Hilton has been banned from YouTube for repeatedly posting material that is against the sites terms - ie, copyright infringing.

Hilton, like most of the rest of the web, uses YouTube to post videos and embeds them onto his site, thus passing the not inconsiderable burden of paying for video serving costs to Google.

In this instance, the straw that broke the camel's back was a video of Liza Minelli collapsing on stage (fairly standard Perez fodder). Hilton responded by setting up a new account on YouTube and posting that he had permission to use the clip, so YouTube closed that account too. Hilton not happy: WTF, etc.
