youtube.com blocked by TOT

We're sorry, this video is no longer available
TOT, the Thai state-owned ISP, is currently blocking every youtube.com video. The website itself is unblocked, but any attempt to access a video results in a black screen and an apology: "We're sorry, this video is no longer available".

The videos are available, of course; the message is simply a smokescreen to hide the fact that they are being blocked. The message should be extended to: 'This video is no longer available to anyone unfortunate enough to have a TOT internet account'.

(The entire youtube.com site was blocked by all Thai ISPs in May last year, and finally unblocked last August.)
