[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] YouTube terms of Service

[Steve Isenberg]

I do not think that the changes YouTube is putting into effect will have
any impact on my publishing videos for the group.
I'm over age 18, and the rest are just that YouTube is trying to make their
rules and practices easier to understand.

I'm interested if anyone else has additional info.

Note: reply goes just to sender; reply-all goes to sender and list.
