> I can confirm that youtube.com videos have a 'Demo Only' marking. The video seems to load for me with no audio or picture. I would guess that this is an old or modified free flash variant (gnash maybe?) that is being used for this particular version of Linux that has been installed.

 well, that's gotta go.

 much as i love free software, there simply hasn't been any money put
into flash replacements (despite it being a high priority FSF target).
 the alternative is to prise the nokia N800 debian/maemo flash plugin
out of nokia's grubby mitts.  i believe it's flash 8 or 9, and the
word from nokia was that adobe were absolutely xxxxxxxg useless when
it came to helping compile flash for arm, despite nokia paying adobe
large sums of money for access to the flash proprietary source code.
but - the important thing is: they did it.
