I got a message with a list of consequences of putting copyrighted material on youtube, but I was told that really nothing that much was going to happen except they were going to put ads next to my video and keep track of how many views I get. What is the point? This doesn’t really affect me, I don’t care if youtube tries to make money and not that many people watch my videos anyway. In fury, I deleted all my videos off youtube and I am looking for another site to migrate to. Metacafe?

this is crazy .. i doubt that they have claim over this video after all this was Andrei’s video … here are a couple of links that can help you dispute this if you would like… on the first link the video talks about how to fight the disputes … just fast forward to about 2:24 into it… and the second link is a blog of the same guy from the video.

That’s ridiculous, SH/HL have no rights for that video. There was no contract ever stating that any videos submitted in the tournament were their property.

I guess if they want to waste their “precious” time filling out complaints then let them. I’m sure your videos will find a home that none can bother.

At any length it’s good exposure for their site, so there doesn’t seem to be any genuine reason to take those videos down besides them not wanting people to find out the true history of the online card community for them.

On my (former) Youtube page’s profile I explicitly state that if the authors of the videos have a problem with the videos being posted, all they have to do is contact me and I’d take it down immediately. The fact that Superhandz/Handlordz would rather go through the arduous process of filing a copyright complaint as opposed to sending a simple PM goes to show how ridiculous their stance on the matter is.

I’m currently uploading the videos to another site, which will hopefully respect how important it is that the history of this art be made clear instead of blindly taking in irrational complaints from an institution infamous for distorting the truth.

Cry bullshit. Superhandz/Handlordz has NO right to take down that video.

Hi Cuso,

Sorry if it came off like I was blaming you… when I meant ‘this’ post’ I was not referring to your blog post, I was referring to my upload of Andrei’s video. I completely support you posting my stuff, as it’s good exposure to get the history of this art known.

From the looks of it, Youtube might not be the best place to do this objectively… looks like I’ll have to find other sources. I’ll let you know when I’m back.
