This is getting annoying -

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Alley Music Corp." is now all that comes for the great Hollywood remake of .NET vs Java 'Drama' -

Or a friend is uploading "the best goals of the worldcup", and one day later youtube says: "... no longer available due to a copyright claim by FIFA" -

Is the 'legal system' trying to destroy social media? Is it right to take away these videos? -
Is it & should it fall under copyright laws, and not much rather just a "Private use", if someone cuts a funny video for his friends & posts it on his profile? - But what, if it goes viral? difficult question ...

My knowledge of the law is limited. but my main question is:
If I have a TV connection at home, I am allowed to watch a soccer game - I guess I am also allowed to record parts of it. When a friend visits me, I am allowed to watch with him together that soccer game on my TV - and also show him the 'golden goal'of the previous game.
Isnt it the same, if I publish this recorded golden goal on my wall on Facebook? Why should that suddenly be forbidden? Social Media for me is a 'personal' (and often private) activity, and I guess no copyright laws should apply there - it is not "commercia missuse", but private referencing.
But what if it goes viral, and suddenly millions of people watch it?

A couple of soldiers in Afganistan created a re-make of Lady Gaga's 'Telefon' for their friends back home. One of the friends uploaded it to youtube & it went viral. Up to now, more than 5 million people watched it, and it was mentioned by the press around the globe.
This video clearly violates the copyright of Lady Gaga - Why is this video still on youtube?
Well, probably because the use is bigger than the harm: Would the web community pay for seeing that video? probably not ...

Any work which is in a tangible form and which is yours' alone (created or developed) and through which you make money then the work is copyrighted.

Coming back to your question YES, it is annoying when something is not avaiable after sometime.I completely agree. it slows down the process of development but at the same time it helps to protect the original creator/developer who has put in some efforts and resources to create or develop it and expects to get returns by selling his work.

You watch something on your TV. Because you have subscribed to that channel you have some limited rights. You record parts of it and you show it to your friend. But giving a copy to your friend or distributing copies to your friends is voilating copyright. I think this is what is happening on youtube.
