“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by XYZ Inc.” may be the message displayed by Youtube company when you are trying to watch something.
Sometimes the video is unavailable when the owner himself removed the video but it’s still showing up in the video search results. Youtube is also deleting videos that are porn or NSFW. But just like Google Cache stores a copy of a webpage on Google servers, Youtube may maintain a copy of raw video on their servers even when the video has been taken off the main website.
You can watch deleted videos from Youtube by… inserting the video ID into Delutube. Youtube video ID can be retrieved from the video URL. However for videos that have been permanently deleted from the Youtube servers, this hack is not possible.
Another interesting feature is that users can also view random deleted Youtube videos at Delutube site.
