YouTube, can't you just stay outta trouble for a couple of hours?

It seems YouTube's boxing clips aren't the only sporting content causing issues. Now The International Cricket Council (ICC) is complaining that its copyrights have been ignored - the cricket body seems to have issued a DMCA notice for World Cup clips claiming the usual copyright infringement.

We're normally all over the "YouTube is promoting your content" angle, but in this case, it doesn't seem like an over-reaction by the ICC - issuing a DMCA is perfectly acceptable, and it's not as though they're throwing around threats of multi-million dollar lawsuits.
