The statement is not complete. The entire YouTube statement is as follows:

"Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights.

We're sorry."

Followed by a large "uncertain" smiley face in the middle of the video: :/

So in it's entirety it does raise the initial impression that YouTube is good and understanding whereas GEMA is the evil empire. The reality probably lies somewhere in between.

Like practically all conservative "think tanks", the Heritage Foundation has a serious case of confirmation bias. Love it how they scathe spending under Obama all over their site, but naturally, the fact that they were strong supporters of the Iraq war, a useless, unnecessary war which was based on now obvious lies and disinformation and cost 1.7 trillion, with long term costs of 6 trillion isn't mentioned anywhere on the site. Nope. Money gone! Obama bad! And we don't have nuttin' to do with'at! Yuppedi-diddledy-doo!

If you're a big fan of Deus Ex, try Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

The graphics have aged a little, and combat feels a little clunky, but other than that, it is one of the best Deus Ex -style first person RPG's in existence. A vastly underrated game. The plot is one of the best, ever. Levels and atmosphere are fantastic. Yet, you only start to truly appreciate the greatness of this game on the 2nd playthrough. I think you will get the most of the game choosing a Toreador for 1st and Malkavian for 2nd playthrough.

I like the game, it's a great concept, but sometimes I wish it were a little less random. You often get into a bad luck situation that you have no hope of winning, abruptly ending a session in which you felt you were doing quite well.
But I suppose some people enjoy this unpredictable "rougelike element in the game.
