I can get the full "The Dark Knight" in 720p on YouTube? Links please

Not 720p, but I don't think that was really the main point. By the way, I just got the link by going to YouTube and searching for "the dark knight part 1".

Well, starting at about part 6 it displays a copyright message for me so you can maybe call this an extended trailer.

The point is that YouTube doesn't offer a movie experience that is comparable to what was available on megaupload.com

The point is it still provides access to and advertising around pirated content.

You can host videos on Youtube that don’t show up in search results and link to them from 3rd party websites. That’s exactly like Megaupload, but with streaming.

And that is illegal and when DMCA complaints are filed access to the content is removed.
