You Sir, are a retard -

What is You Tube known for? It is the epitome of all public copy write infringement known to man.. This is the email I just got -

"Video Disabled
A copyright owner has claimed it owns some or all of the audio content in your video World Of Warcraft Raid on Tarren Mill by NSS. The audio content identified in your video is Name Of The Game by The Crystal Method. We regret to inform you that your video has been blocked from playback, due to a music rights issue."

So a video that i've had up for 2 years now with almost 100k view, is just NOW getting nailed for "copy write infringement" (CI). Besides I thought it was CI only if you made a profit with it. Are you serious though! at least 90% of all videos on YouTube have some well known artist music in the back ground, and theres no way in hell some kid got permission to. And you don't need to pay some half-whit member of the "YouTube Content Identification Team" to do a retarded job like that. If your going to go after some guy like me who's just having fun with video - than ban that other 90%, cause if you did - YouTube wouldn't be anywhere it is today.

On the other hand - according to their web site, someone who owns permission to the copy write has to report it in order for a video to get taken down. Which would explain why YouTube is so flooded with copy write awesomeness. But that also means someone who own the rights to The Crystal Method song Name Of The Game, saw my video and went "You son-of-a-bitch" and was SO mad - they actually took the time out of their day to get it taken off a well known media source of the internet, Which I think is actually pretty cool. In any case - Piss off! and go find something honorable to do you smuck!
