Vid dispute....

[ash48]

Ack! I posted a vid on YT and it was blocked EVERYWHERE (except 18 small countries) due to copyright. I researched all the copyright info and felt that it really did qualify for fair use so I disputed it. But it's still pretty scary because I really don't want to lose my account if they decide I'm, idk.. a bad person or something.

I once disputed a vid (the same song as now) and I got a strike against me. My account is back to "good standing" (which I hope means I can risk a strike) but it's still worrying.

I will say that this post on You Tube Removals is very helpful (more so than the YT info). Worth bookmarking if you want to know about this stuff.

I know that the solution would be to not post to You Tube but ...hmmm....I like posting there because I have some loyal subscribers and it's a good place to get some feedback and chat to people.

Let's see what happens. *bites nails*

ps: I will be posting the vid(let) to my journal - tomorrow probably.

Ooh.. and I thought it was just blocked in Germany again. I saw your vid in my inbox just when you had posted it and thought, great, I'll be the very first one to watch and comment on it. The 0 views looked so beautifully 'untouched'. As I ran over to the vid it turns out to be blocked. *headdesk* By the time it was free to watch I certainly wasn't the first viewer nor commenter anymore. lol
I hope they let it go and just leave it unblock, or take a year to make a decision. ;)

Hee.. I got a message to say it was blocked in some countries and I checked and it listed 229 countries! 18 were still available... So I decided to dispute it and see what happens. It may remain unblocked for a little while and then they could put the blocks on again. Just have to wait and see. I just hope I don't get a strike because of it.
