Ok .. fine ... I have now had two videos pulled off of youtube because of copyright infringement. One Godzilla movie they just pulled straight off after I received an email that "fire, water, burn" by the Bloodhound Gang was used without permission. The second time there was no actual email and they just muted the audio to another movie (Godzilla again). Is there a Godzilla conspiracy or is there actually someone watching videos (even badly homemade ones) and scanning the over 13 hours of video that is uploaded to youtube EVERY MINUTE for copyrighted material.
Fine .. you got me ..
What do I do? Re-upload and run the risk of severe penalties? Or play it safe and deprive the 2-3 people that watch the Godzilla trilogy each month? Any suggestions? Anyone ever had this happen?
Oh and now Bangladesh has banned the mentioned site for posting an audio tape of the shouting match between the BDR and ruling party. Just a quick reminder that we aren't in Kansas anymore. http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=79064

I've had two pulled. The first one, Ireland Chapter 5 Dingle, was a few months ago and I chose to republish without a soundtrack (boring).
Then last week they did it to Chapter 12 Glendalough. It didn't give me the "no soundtrack" option so I chose to Audio Swap a song. The song is okay, but it means that I have freakin' ads on my video page and it asks people if they want to buy the song on the video. I hate it.
Both songs were off a CD I bought for $2.99 called "Songs of Ireland".
I wouldn't republish because you don't want any legal trouble. Although, I'm guessing you maybe do it "private" and they'd never know.
Hell I guess we can swap a song? This totally sucks! Godzilla deserves to be seen and heard by the masses! Down with censorship!
There are 2 million untranslated phone calls and yet Godzilla gets pulled. Hmm. maybe we have the wrong people watching over us.
They appear to have found a way to "monetize" what was a great populist forum.
