They also removed the videos of PythonBrasil without notice.
Unfortunately we no longer had the original videos to put on another place. We lost dozens of presentations of PythonBrazil that, as you know, is the largest Python conference in Latin America.

They played the same trick on a bunch of video recorded during the Nuxeo World conference 5 years ago.
We had some less than pleasant exchanges with them and I wrote them off as a bunch of crooks.
There is a life lesson in this, though: don't trust anyone with your documents, your videos or your data. Always keep a backup, and a backup's backup, in a safe place.

They removed a couple years of Cassandra Summit videos too. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to restore the lost content but it's definitely no thanks to their bad faith.

Blip Support Agent, Jan 03 04:37 PM: Hello,
Can you tell us what Python related content is no longer available?
We're very supportive of the Python ( and all OSS ) communities and specifically left this account open as a service to the community:
If other community content was removed, we can look in to it further. We need to know the account name or video links, though.
Thanks, Blip Support

Steve,
If you've already got a dialogue with them going, ask about the Plone content they used to have. I know that my Plone Conference 2008 videos seem to be gone.

O'Reilly Media got bit by this, too. From their TOS:
"Videos that are not part of a high quality, original episodic web series can be removed at Blip’s sole discretion. Examples of content considered inconsistent with Blip’s definition of high quality, original episodic web series can include but are not limited to sermons, speeches, slide shows, webinars, screencasts, gameplay footage, tutorials, walkthroughs, meetings (corporate, community or government), personal (home movies, weddings, parties, vacations, etc.), music videos and content produced for other mediums (television, film, radio). Each episode must consist of original content created by the account holder."
They're stepping back from being a generic video hosting service (a-la YouTube). I guess we all missed the notification of the warning period as mentioned in their announcement: "In most cases, accounts that don’t fit this description are given a warning period so that they might find a more suitable hosting solution."
Buggeration.
