TragicallyInept Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I just wrote them asking them what the f*** their problem is. I worded it nicer though. lol -------------- I am writing to complain about something. I had a video I posted pulled from your site due to supposed copyright infringement violations. The video in question is a commercial for the 2005 BET Movie Awards that featured Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, and their children doing a humorous video. It was about thirty seconds in length. I disagree with the decision to pull this on several fronts. 1. What copyright is this video violating? It's of an awards show from over a year ago that was broadcast on television. The video I posted is not available to purchase or download, so what money am I preventing BET (assuming that is who's copyright I'm violating) from collecting? 2. Youtube has a lot of videos on its site. I couldn't begin to assume how many that is, but I'd be willing to bet that at least 60% of those videos are copyright violations. My video is not harming anything. It's in relation to something that happened over a year ago. 3. IT'S A COMMERCIAL!!!! This isn't a movie, a TV show, or a music video (all which can be found on youtube, by the way as of a recent search I did just to see), it's a damn commercial. How is my uploading a commercial affecting DMCA copyrights? Please let me know about this, because I'm kinda upset over this. A bunch of flagrant things get posted that are OBVIOUSLY copyrighted, but they are up forever, and I post something and it's pulled. I would also like to know who reported me, or at least what message was sent to you about it. Thank you very much.

Jonny 5 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 na, they got a point. they're not supposed to have anything that's copyrighted on there... they have to at least appear to be fighting the problem otherwise they'd be shut down in a flash...
