How to Watch Banned or Blocked Youtube Videos

Mark R Robertson   |   March 19, 2008   |  

Thanks to Kevin Nalts from WillVideoForFood for posting a hack from Jischinger that lets you watch blocked YouTube videos.

Just copy the alphanumeric code from the video page URL (the one after the “=” sign) and paste it after this: http://www.youtube.com/v/

So this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLN59ZOweUE

…becomes this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/pLN59ZOweUE

The resulting video player fills your browser window, sans autoplay. Just goes to show that geographic scarcity is a fragile and artificial illusion inside online video.
