Restraint of trade - entities on both the left and right profit from using Youtube, it is also what keeps Youtube in business. Fortunately for Youtube, no one on the right seems to have yet figured out how to call a lawyer.
“At the most basic level, “restraint of trade” is any activity that prevents another party from conducting business as they normally would without such a restraint. For instance, two businesses agreeing to fix prices in order to put another competitor out of business is an illegal restraint of trade. Other examples include creating a monopoly, coercing another party to stop competing with your business, or unlawfully interfering with a business deal (see Tortious Interference).”

Is YouTube conspiring with Facebook and Twitter to ruin this guy’s life? That would be illegal. But if they’re not, then I’m not sure you have much of an argument. And if you think I’m wrong, then he should sue and see what happens.
