As a heads up:

"I just got this message when I went on tinypic from my location in Germany.

Tinypic is no longer accepting uploads from international locations, and links are turned off. If you have content on Tinypic, you can still view the URLs and the content, but only on Tinypic. To upload, share, or link content, please go to Photobucket.com to register an account. You will need to upload your content again to your Photobucket account, but you will be able to share and link your images and videos. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy Photobucket, our premier image and video site

Upon clicking for more information:

Tinypic International is changing. Beginning September 23rd, you will no longer be able to upload content to Tinypic and your links will be turned off. Please begin using Photobucket to upload, share and link your images and videos."

This is probably the reason so many tinypic secrets are messing up.

What did Veoh do? I was not aware of any suck on that end. :O

Well there was this no warning blocking of "international" audience that happened overnight. People who had videos uploaded there and were outside the chosen countries couldn't access them.

So basically if you are outside US, UK, Canada and few other countries you get this: "Veoh is no longer available in ___. If you are not in ___ or think you have received this message in error, please go to veoh.com and report the issue."

Huh. O.O I guess Holland is one of the lucky few then, because I never noticed anything like that. Weird. And ugh. Whyyyyy?

Maybe. Japan, Ireland, Germany, Poland and such countries were spared too.

They said it was because of copyright. And saving bandwith for users in those lucky countries. Basically money :/
