The thought that someone could be downloading my clips (or worse, clips of my student group) to show in class & pick apart with their students makes me ill.
I put clips of my students online, with their permission, so their relatives in other states can see them perform, and so new students can study class choreos at home. But knowing people could download them & do whatever with them makes me want to take them down.

I like to save videos as a source of inspiration! There are so many bellydance videos marked as "inappropriate" (gah!) on YouTube that there is a chance my favourite video might be gone next week. I don't have access to live performances, so YouTube is often the only way I'll ever see most dancers (and most dancers don't have official DVDs for sale).
Please don't take down your videos because you think that they are going to be used in bad ways and picked apart. I really don't think that our community of dancers is like that. Are they?
