"This isn't some one-off instance, either. It turns out that this sort
of extortion is a somewhat regular occurrence. And even that shouldn't
really matter, because it's plain as can be that a system that even
allows for the possibility of this kind of abuse is a system that is too
broken to be allowed to continue. If anything, the demonstration of a
flaw of this magnitude should result in the immediate reformation of
YouTube's policies."
