Asking sites to remove the trailer, no specific reasons cited
That Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes trailer was pretty sweet, wasn't it? Well, now Konami is trying to pull it from websites that have it up.
The publisher has been requesting sites to remove the debut trailer, which was first shown last weekend during PAX Prime. No specific reasons were given, but there is speculation that the request stems from possible licensing issues over a song that plays during the trailer, mostly likely "Here's to You" by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez.
Still, that's just an educated guess, and Konami doesn't seem keen on divulging the reason (or reasons) behind this move. Not right now, anyway.
Previously seen footage of Ground Zeroes portrayed an older Snake, though not quite as elderly as he appeared in Metal Gear Solid 4. Still, Kojima has clarified that the MGS leading man will not be "old" in the game, and his gray hairs were an effect of rim-lighting.

Edit: Ehh, the more I read into it, the more I think I'm wrong. Probably Big Boss.
It's possible that it's being taken down over that, but that would be a bit strange considering the song was in MGS4.
So, it is definetively Big Boss... What I wonder is that if this is a prologue to MGS5, then are we going to play as Big Boss on it or maybe a young Solid Snake?
Chances are its the music, wasn't there an issue with the MGS theme sounding like another song a while back? I find it hard to believe they would just assume they can re-use a song just because the used it before knowing theres a chance for a law suite but who knows.
