For example, see the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfnBVKrzX6Y. I did my test with a couple of proxy servers within China on June the 1st. It is possible that YouTube is not blocking this video (and others like it) but that the firewall, while letting this page through its filters, is blocking the video feed into the page. Something to investigate? I might very well be wrong about all this. Hell, I probably am! Please let me know. Peter Nart,
