Well, so, Content ID doesnt just catalog -- it also lets content- owners choose between a number of automatic actions that can occur when matches are identified. They can choose to ignore them, to earn secret ad revenue from them (as WMG was doing until recently) or to mute or remove them altogether (as WMG started doing in January). These Content ID removals are not formal DMCA takedown notices. You respond to them using a YouTube "Video ID Dispute," not a DMCA Counternotice. So for yr ROFLcon vid -- can you file a Dispute for it? http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=83768 Also maybe helpful: http://www.eff.org/issues/intellectual-property/guide-to-youtube- removals =T= _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
