They made a Blackberry Paperweight commercial about my two year complaint to their company about my phone that I was not ALLOWED to return and was not replaced for 7 months--that phone didn't work either, nor the phone that replaced that one. NEVER buy from a kiosk for ANY phone. THEY ARE NOT COMPANY EMPLOYEES NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU. If the phone is broken they won't take it back and neither will a real company store. Cust. Ser. really isn't helpful, they just want you to keep paying.
@nysp2007 According to their own taped conversations, that fact that I never gave them permission to use my intellectual property for financial gain establishes that they essentially 'stole my work. It's the same principle as if I copied your work during a test or took your term paper and put my name on it. Even though you did not copyright your work, you can readily prove that I stole your intellectual property.
It becomes open for the public to view, but not to use in derivative works. However, YouTube can do what they want with it. From the ToS:
"For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions"
You're a funny one nypj. You act like you know the laws. Are you a law expert? Verizon doesn't earn anything from this. Oh and, why are you proving people wrong over the internet... when Paul himself isn't worried at all? If this is anything, it is free advertisement for Paul. So stop debating over it.
what that makes no sense...verizon isn't MAKING ANY money off of paul's vid [or the split second of it for that matter]. once paul uploads it onto youtube, it also belongs to youtube. IF anyone would be gaining money, it would be youtube, south park, etc. Verizon is simply advertising a phone.. that's it.
no its not, your technically saying when you borrow a dvd and copy it its yours and you may sell it. Thats illegal, this video is the property of Paul, not them, they should of asked for permission. He can legally sue them.
@ihor69 That's not fully true. Unless it's been copy written then it's "unowned" meaning it's not anyone persons. Or unless they hacked your computer. But if it's on like youtube, google video, or any other file/video share site then it's no body's legal ownership. Except for like 50Cent music videos for example; on vidoevo, i believe that is the youtube channel. There are many different instances and circumstances that play apart in if you "have a case" or not...
no - you do not need to register something with a government office to obtain a copywrite... it is helpful innn copywrite disputes, but not a requirement... as soon as something is created the person who created it holds the copywrite, unless it was created during the course of someones employment, in which case the employer is the copywrite holder... registering a copywrite is useful, but not required....
What are you people talking about copyright? He's not making any money off of it and he wouldn't be sued because he is also advertizising their company.
Actually he can't... Any none copyrighted material put on the internet, is PUBLIC domain. The only thing he could (maybe) do is to ask to take his video off the advertisement. The is no chance this dude could get any money for that.
just because someone publishes something to the internet does not automatically put it into the public domain, the creator still maintains copywrite ownership of his work.. and if his work is used for commercial purposes then he has the right to financial compensation....
ok nypj, the fact of the matter is that in the contract verizon provides(within the fine print) is more than likely a statement that makes this kind of thing possible or else he could sue
p.s. Look up laws and contracts ;) and have a nice day
yeah man u should have filed a lawsuit. They didnt even ask u if they could use u as an add for verision. what a bunch of assholes. they could have at least sent u a notification they did that
i would like for u to know that i was the one tht made that add so screw u i work for verizon! u know if u have a verizon account i can cancel it for what u said
Yeah, but if Verizon is getting paid for what their doing, Paul should get some money. Youtube even says you cannot copyright unless you have permission. They didn't notify him first.

Fuck that!!!! I want some money to have my face plastered all over the universe on a deal like that!!! I guess they just assumed that since you are on YouTube, you don't need to eat and pay bills!!!!! BASTARDS!!!
hey I just finished doing a couple of Verizon commercials and by law they are not allowed to use any photo or video in their commercials without peoples consent, because they can get sued. So if i was you i would sue their asses off and get royalties since this is playing in different locations. And you have proof with this video and your other. so go for yours.
I believe the YouTube agreement that all YouTube users agree to allows YouTube to distribute your uploaded videos. COuld be wrong, haven't personally read through it all, but I know I have heard someone suggest it's written in there that YouTube can distribute your videos.
If anyone knows the actual truth to it, I'd be interested in hearing your reply.
i dont think you can. i think you had over your rights when you upload the video. From my understanding, in the fine print of the registering of Youtube, Youtube can claim the rights to the video...thus, YOUTUBE is probably making the money off Paul!!! THOSE BASTARDS!
All youtube videos are royalty free. You posted the video on the internet, it doesn't belong to you anymore. Verizon owes you zilch. That said, you should feel privileged they used your stupid video in the first place.
still thats an honor to be featured in a verizon wireless add. That does wonders for your positive numbers in viewers. THe only problem is that the add didn't feature your youtuber name. Well thats still amazingly awesome. You should have gotten royalties tho. You deserved it more than anyone else on youtube.
No royalties!? tsk, tsk, tsk... What ever happened to honest business? Oh wait...
All well... A half a second of fame is better then... already being a internet celebrity... right Paul? Oh who am I F*@#ing kidding! Still that's pretty amazing. Congratulations!
Yeah, yeah, commenting again. But I just have to ask: is that the Best Buy in Carousel Mall? Pleas e tell me, I'm dieing from curiosity. If my memory serves to be correct, it looks the same. But then again, a lot of chain stores look the same, so I could be wrong, but please tell me.
Oh snap! In Syracuse NY? Is that right? Seriously? Superlative? Wow, I used to live there. That's ironic. My friend/s live in Syracuse too, so when I first watched it, I'm like, "What the freak? Syracuse New York? That's ironic."
I moved more or less three years ago, so I'm living...somewhere else right now. I forgot to mention this in my first comment. It feels weird to be double commenting.
Yah, I know. How weird is that? I mean, the Jonas Brothers are featured in a Verizon commercial too, but they are famous. Not that you aren't it's just that...aw nevermind.
Kudos to Michael Buckley for telling us to go to your channel, it will definitely help with my 'Smosh withdrawal'. Hah. Funny stuff.
they dont have to pay you anything because anything you put on this site as well as myspace they automatically have the rights to it.They dont have to tell you anything about it.
Possibly you can make a claim saying since it had your face in the video and it was YOUR video that you should of gotten something out of it since they used you for advertisment.
The reason I think it's possible to sue is because, ad's have to ask consent if they use a musician's song on thier ad? Why should a video be any different? Id look into it.
I also saw this on a video I tried to watch a while back:This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by British Sky Broadcasting, Ltd.
SUEING Verizon Id consider it even though they fed you this 'youtube videos can be used' BS. Theyre using something youve made in an AD so they can GAIN money correct? Obviously without asking for your consent to use the video to make them money.

I guess this comes under "fair use" laws - it's a brief clip, reduced in size, to communicate a general idea rather than to communicate the clip's subject matter. I doubt a court would rule against them if they were pressed for royalties.
Verizon CAN afford to pay you royalties. If I forget to pay my bill, they turn my family's service off. Then they charge a separate reinstatement fee on all 5 cell phones!!! Times that by all the customers they do this to every month. Verizon CAN afford to pay you royalties.
WOW congratulations bro, i knew u would make it! its only time before someone big recognizes you and gives you loads of money... on that note i am jealous :(

Great Paul. Also, I agree about doing your crazy stunts on the big screen. I'd love to be in one of your bits. That would be awesome.

There is an option to where you choose whether it is allowed to have on broadcast or not... so you can't sue. Unless you marked it's not okay.

I guess this comes under "fair use" laws - it's a brief clip, reduced in size, to communicate a general idea rather than to communicate the clip's subject matter. I doubt a court would rule against them if they were pressed for royalties.

Verizon CAN afford to pay you royalties. If I forget to pay my bill, they turn my family's service off. Then they charge a separate reinstatement fee on all 5 cell phones!!! Times that by all the customers they do this to every month. Verizon CAN afford to pay you royalties.
