Since the Fall 2006 semester, BYU has been blocking access to Youtube.com from the school's network. This is an official petition against the blacklisting of that site. We, the undersigned, are against it for the following reasons:

-Initially, the block was a minor inconvenience, since many useful media clips were still accessible through Google Video. Since the purchase of Youtube by Google, most clips have been linked directly to Youtube. This has created a great number of difficulties to both instructors and students alike.

-As students at BYU, we have all signed honor code agreements promising to abide by the rules dictated within it. The forceful enforcement of these rules by the school renders our agreements useless and, for lack of a better word, a joke. It shows that BYU pretends to trust us, but is afraid to give us any actual responsibility. We kindly ask BYU to show us the respect and responsibility that we deserve as adults, members of the church and the BYU student body.

We, the undersigned students of BYU, request that the website www.youtube.com be removed from the BYU internet block list.
