**Soz if this is incorrect / has already been mentioned, however i couldnt find any reference to it in previous posts!**
It would appear that google have scraped, videos which you need to pay for from google video. (or at least made them far less obvious to find).
There is now no pay content on the front page, and it would seem that there is no option to search for it. As far as i can tell, google video has been made completely free...
To be honest what they were offering was always completely rubbish, and i cant see it making any sense to devote a large section of a highly viewed front page to try and sell a choice of approximately 9 different music videos, or a dozed of over-priced films!
