While I don’t know for sure, I’m going to go with “accident” and/or “glitch.” At least one user reported not being able to actually rent the video when clicking on the “Rent For $2.99″ function while it was still available.
All YouTube partners have had the ability to charge a rental fee for their content for about a year, but paying around $1 a minute to hear Black drone on about the front seat and the back seat seems like a major major rip off, which is probably why the story made headline news in the first place.
What’s amazing is how many people actually cared about the video’s availability, even if the concern was ironic.
YouTube itself declined to comment officially, holding that it doesn’t comment on the status of individual videos.
