So many people use YouTube as their archive - particularly if they're naive about their relationship with YouTube. He may not have his own copies.

This doesn't necessarily imply total naivety - plenty of journalists would be used to it being the publisher's role to archive the work, not their own.



As a content producer it’s baffling to me when people don’t have local backups of exports and original media. Storage has never been cheaper. 3-2-1 is so easy to implement.


YouTube isn't the publisher in this case: RT is. I would be extremely surprised if they don't have their own copies.


Man you’d be surprised at how bad in-house archiving can be. Especially if they’re working through freelancers.

They’ve probably got it somewhere
