Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here, so allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Bryant "B" here at GasChamber in Suisun City 707. You can see some of my work @ myspace
The other day I received an email from youtube stating the following:
Dear Member:
This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by BET claiming that this material is infringing:
Doon Coon, Ruck City, and Runaway Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q0lvCNajBE
Please Note: Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account. In order to avoid future strikes against your account, please delete any videos to which you do not own the rights, and refrain from uploading additional videos that infringe on the copyrights of others. For more information about YouTube's copyright policy, please read the Copyright Tips guide.
If you elect to send us a counter notice, to be effective it must be a written communication provided to our designated agent that includes substantially the following (please consult your legal counsel or see 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3) to confirm these requirements):
The clip removed from my account in my opinion did not violate any copyright laws. It was recorded at GasChamber. The music playing in the background was being played by the artist, which I assume establishes consent... The specifics of the content are insignificant. It was viewed less than 300 times over the course of 4 months. Nevertheless, MY content was wrongfully removed and I am left with little to no recourse.
Is BET bullying independents who lack the means to counter claims like this. Or did they make a mistake.
What do I do to prevent this from happening to content I actually care about?! I just want to produce, engineer and create, not practice law.
