Thats not Apple blocking anything, the videos just haven't been converted. Not all videos on YouTube will play on the iPhone/ iPod Touch, they have to be converted to MPEG first.
That's not true. They're deliberately blocking some youtube music videos, google it, but I couldn't find a way to watch them anyway and it's making me really angry. F%CK YOU APPLE AND YOUR COMMUNISM!

what are you talking about? you are just a fanboy that doesn't know anything.
Apple is obviously using its communist ties to google to censor our right to freedom of information.
agreed, {censored} them.

If you guys needed a platform to make a political statement why didn't you just ASK!!
(and it plays fine on my iPhone in Switzerland, but I only watched 2,3 seconds of it)
Google Kanye West - Flashing Lights try watching the first result on iPhone, it says Video Unavailable This video does not currently support iPhone. It has 10 million views and it' a popular song. Added: February 12, 2008 You can find many more like this. There is no flash on iphone so that they control what we watch on iphone and buy from itunes store. FU7K APPLE!!!!!!
edit: I can find a gazilion of youtube videos that work on iphone of the same songs but it's just audio, or very crappy video, while the original video which often has millions of views is always blocked. Please don't tell me they accidentally didn't convert the original ones.

It's not only a matter of FLASH whoopee!!
Some videos are not released for some countries or not YET released!!
Google Kanye West - Flashing Lights comes up with "This video is not available in your country."
So you should get your facts right, according to their record company, due to the adult level or nature of the video/contents, the video will not be made available in all countries and NOT "some countries are communistic and will not show it"(my quote) and since when is Apple to blame for not showing YouTube videos!?

All videos on youtube are available in MPEG.
The youtube app for iPhone is crap anyway, it's has very poor navigation.
Um I agree with SticMAC.
But strange thing happened one video was unavailable for my country
but when opened it with iPhone 3G it opened just fine.
lol That's odd.
People cannot watch from iPhone, I cannot watch from macbook

I just wanted to say that I am seeing this problem as well.
The YouTube app on the iPhone does not display any results from universalmusicgroup or any of their artists' accounts. This means that artists like:
Rihanna
Lady Gaga
Lonely Island
are unavailable.
Obviously Universal has some kind of deal with YouTube to remove their videos from the iPhone app, but after searching Google, I have found no explanation.
Why they allow their videos to be viewed on a computer and not a phone is baffling to me.
I suppose this is just another case of executives (badly) attempting to control digital media content.

Considering that a laptop can
- - extract and save a video from the site
- - be hooked up to a projector to play the video in front of an audience...

I agree that there is blocking occurring, not just on iPhone but on Apple TV as well.
The YouTube app on ATV allows you to browse your YouTube favorites - but a number of music videos simply do not appear in the list.
It drove me a bit nuts at first, thinking it was a glitch.
It's ONLY with official music videos. They do not show from favorites, or via search.
FAIL.
It's more capitalistic than communistic -- obviously Apple is trying to force you to buy the videos through the iTunes Store.
