Turr: Since they decided to let the video go back to the public domain could that mean news for Monday, being whatever caused them to want to keep it private is not now an issue?

Whatever the reasons for the original posting ("leaking") and the removal were, publishing it again was the only sensible action.

The video was out and circulating anyway (you cannot put back the toothpaste into the tube), so why not make the best out of the situation, be it intentionally planned or not.
