If I'm such a bloody target, why not just shoot me? I finally get over 500k views on a video, and this happens: And I suppose the other 4 people that reuploaded my video are justified, right? Better yet, it was 15 lousy seconds of video from an 11 minute cartoon, These are the kinds of measures you take when someone posts an entire episode.Congratulations Viacom. You've proved yourselves antagonists of fair use and parodial arts, and you've got an enemy in me. Note, I will not be changing my avatar because of this. I still appreciate United Plankton, and feel sorry for them being underneath such tyrannical morons.
Here's the thing, they didn't even look at the content it had. They just took it down. Because that's what that type of company does, and Youtube gets big cuts from them every so often. So if you fight it, you can have it reuploaded, because it is protected under Fair Use. As long as you aren't making money off of it, then you can do it. So just send them a bunch of emails and make a big stink about Fair Use.
Ooh, David, can you change my tag line (little text under name) from "Moroccan Pride" to "Sheriff McNaughty"???
He seems to be confused. Your name is Danny. Anyway, YouTube makes you do this little "Copyright Education" thing after something like this happens...as if I'm the one that needs to be educated on the subject. I've tried my best to contact Viacom with a request for retraction of crying like spoil sports. We'll see if that goes anywhere, otherwise I'll just reupload the video, stating my rights within.
It's kind of sad how you guys are like "DUH! Mirror it!" and I have no clue what the fuck you're saying.
