Package: clive
Version: 2.2.13-3
Severity: wishlist

$ clive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ULVQOneeZE
fetch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ULVQOneeZE ...done.
error: no match: `(?-xism:&video_id=(.*?)&)'

Huh, what's going on?

Ah, no wonder
$ firefox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ULVQOneeZE
Showed:
This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country.

Well, perhaps clive could parse and print youtube error messages too,
instead of that gobbledygook.
P.S., my IP was 218.163.*.*.
