More YouTube censoring

I was reading Time Magazine yesterday and noticed a short section on countries where Big Brother has ganged up on our beloved YouTube by demanding censorship of certain videos and subjects. It doesn't mention anything about the US government censoring, but I wonder how long it will be until the US government starts demanding that certain videos are kept off the web (or if that has already happened). I know that there have been a couple of movies that friends have recommended to me, but by the time I have looked them up they are "no longer available" because of copyright issues. Is the honeymoon period of YouTube and true free speech already over?
