YouTube isn't allowed in Second Life?

[Usive]

From what I can gather, there used to be some holes used to enable youtube videos to be streamed in SL... No where do I see it says they are not allowed, but if it can be done, why would SL patch these holes? Why would they make it impossible to do?

it wasn't SL that patched these holes but youtube they changed something i can't remember what that meant that videos could not work in SL any more (and many other places on the web that didn't embedd the video) but TV makers including VEA Icarus Diamani etc quickly found a work round before the change at youtube's end permanently came in to effect and youtube continues to work in SL

There is a complication with YouTube on copyright in that some vids will not play in all countries, so even if you can see it from the country you are in, some wont be able to.
