For those that might now know or haven't checked Team Four Star's YouTube page lately, if you try to do so, you will be met with a lovely "This account has been suspended" screen.
According to Lanipator's blog, Japanese company Toei Animation contacted YouTube to have their "copyrighted material" removed and the account banned. Which Lanipator found ironic, because Funimation didn't have their account removed and a lot of the Funimation staff actually likes the series.
HOWEVER, all is not lost yet. They've already started another account and plan to upload the episodes to it. You can found the account here:

As far as I know, the other Abridged series that each team member does individually haven't been touched. I've at least checked Lanipator's Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged and it's all still there.
FAIL, TOEI. FAIL.
Welshi.
SHiDa Says:
Toei sucks as a company for things like that.
They've always has issues with foreign lands, licensing and their own anime.
Still, I was sad when TeamFourStar got banned. DBZAb is the only other abridged series I really really enjoy.

Really? Damn. Thanks for letting us know about the alternate account.
Lord Welshi Says:
Well damn, that sucks. I love the DBZ abridged series.
Ghost Nappa gonna haunt them bitches.
