Is this possible? (Youtube directory website)

    There is a person who has a website.
    This website, with a script collects videos from youtube and puts them on the site itself, similarly to a directory.
    There are many, many urls on it.
    It still contains a video preview picture and descriptions of a youtube video that was set to private by me on my youtube account.
    I called the webmaster of that website and asked him to remove the said webpage/url but he told me that he is unable to do so because his script automatically updates and it usually disappears after one or two days if there is a change in the youtube video. But my youtube video was set to private and its name has also been changed about 3 months ago so it's a little bit strange to me that it is still there. It bothers me a lot that the preview photo and the description is still on-line there.
    I am not good at programming so I am not sure if the owner of the site is lying to me or not.
    Is there any way for him to remove the url and if there is, how?

    Some additional info: That ex youtube video has been indexed on this site by that script months ago, maybe a year ago, back when the video was not private.

    He must be able to remove the preview and description from his site, even directly from the database, even blocking the url in htaccess... there are many methods, but he may be a newbie that took the script from somewhere and don't know how to manage these things.
    Btw, how did you found your video on his site?

    Well... take a look at the actual image url (in IE right click the picture and then properties or in FireFox right click the picture and then view image info). If image url is linked from youtube directly then he can't remove the actual picture. If image is stored and linked on his web site url then yes, he can remove it. If he knows how... that's another topic.
