Free Restricted YouTube Video
Some YouTube videos are blocked in certain countries due to various reasons. Search on these videos will return messages such “This video is not allow in your country” or “This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community. To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up.”
Google OS blog shares a very simple trick to override the restriction just by changing the URL:
You can replace the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID;
with: http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEOID (VIDEOID is the 11-characters video identifier)
Example of video blocked outside US (Madonna – 4 Minutes):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9ciR9qR1dU
To see it, paste this in the address bar: http://www.youtube.com/v/I9ciR9qR1dU
As bonus, you can view the video in full page. Just open the new URL in a new browser windows, now you can resize the video to your liking.
