For years I have tried to get You Tube/Google to approve my use of their content, never a responce. I even tried Google ads to promote this site your looking at. Google's overseas phone banks wouldn't help & double billed me. I tried going to Googles offices on 7th Ave and 15th street NYC, but no one wanted to chat. Next time I will say "Tell Barney G his old pal Snuffy Smith is in the lobby"!
