VLog #2: Viva la...Copyright Infringement?

[SuPeRev94]

thats harsh :(

[taquero3]

and why the funtwo's covers are not taken down i mean he's doing the same that you

[okonh0wp]

well, would you be willing to pay royalties?

[dougiek77]

if you made your cover up and it got taken down...what about all of David Side's videos

arent they all covers??...

[BengaliBehala]

technically yeah. oh well, I'm over this nonsense.

[iownurface12]

Dude, I make cover videos and they don't get taken down....I don't have a million views, but still, this isn't fair.

[FreeridingFreeman]

minority will rise my friend i promise that is fucking bs i will back you up all the way

[VitoCorleonePadrino]

I'm sorry for you man, but that's actually what happens in every site where you can post stuff, like DeviantArt...

IF YOU DO SOMETHING TOO GOOD, USING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL AS A BASE, THEY'LL REMOVE IT.

Actually the same thing happened to me on DeviantArt: I did a painting and they blammed it because "IT WAS TOO SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL, AND LOOKED TOO PROFESSIONAL".

But like you, i put a lot of effort in it, changing several things...

IT'S THE COPYRIGHT WORLD MAN, GET USED TO IT.

[DustPrincess]

This really blows. EMI sucks ass. Your copy was really awesome :(

[momohead35]

I was actually just looking for that video too! :( But it's okay, I'm sure you'll make a video that gets 10X as many views! You're super talented, so NEVER give up! :D

[theyearwas1764]

im so sorry dude

[jacacriss]

dude thats really lame i hate tht u hav to contact coldplay nd b like (hey can i play ur song on the guitar and then put it on youtube) also they wont read the

[NGLOUISLOUISNG]

I loved your song =(

[KingHuman]

Dude, yeah. Yu gotta be careful about using other people's intellectual property. And giving credit isn't enuf to aviod infringement issues.

Suggestion: If yu wanna avoid this in future, RESEARCH the copyright law. Yur in front of a computer, just Google the law.

[NGLOUISLOUISNG]

i dont get why all the other people didnt get copyrighted info?!

[pjay228]

It's okay, man, you're still awesome to everyone here.

*sigh* just another reason i dislike record companies

[Jamsie567]

Don't get mad get even make a video on how to play the song so there are people copying the song all ove the web HAHA.

[mglittlerobin]

That's just stupid. They just want the performance rights to it. YouTUbe should put it back up. I see TONS of people who do co covers of song and post them up here all the time. EMI put the song back up. That's not really fair. Coldplay probably doesn't care, the only one who cares is you guys.

[ellieg96]

How stupid. Youtube is stupid.

That VetianPrincess or whatever her name is copies videos and then there's JamesAtWar and stuff...God how gay I support you mann.

[shellyeliz1]

I voted for your video! Please go vote for my favorite video (see channel)...

[ThatFernyKid]

This is just ridiculous.

It's called a COVER. You weren't claiming it as your own. Many people on YouTube do covers on popular songs, and I still see those videos online. How stupid. I support you 100%

[TheYoouTubeDemon]

The YoouTube Demon Speaks:

Are you fucking serious? See this is what happens when asspunch corperate fuckerbators are allowed to take control websites such as youtube.

There is no reason that should of been taken down and a random dude on youtube doing a cover is not a copyright issue. It's basically the same as playing the song for a bunch of friends. So what, now we can't strum Coldplay without getting sued?

The YoouTube Demon has spoken.

[XxSconeManxX]

further evidence that record companies are cocksuckers.

i applaud you for making this video and trying to expose those mother fuckers (record companies) for what they are.

[aquatix]

I wonder if karaoke is copywrite infringement, lol. Stupid record companies!

[lorenelli]

dude i was just searching for your vid today...  :( and couldn't find it.

[niccrant]

you stoled someone else work and its not yours. make your own music and stop stealing others music.  they should sue your ass.

[TheGoldenBros]

yeah, but he credited it.. never said he wrote it.. never took credit.. all he did was post himself for fun, just playing instruments with it.

[TomJeffSteve]

that happened to me too

[oknataLi]

aww thats so sadd

[cartmansos3xy]

screw youtube

[theoreo88]

ur really talented! youtube needs to stop being a pussy and stand up for the people that make videos on their site. sorry that hapnd to u man, keep doin ur thing tho. maybe this one will make it to past the other one! good thought...

[soloman229]

That sucks

[blackpinkcool]

aw sorry about that it was one of my favorites~~!! the first video i saw that u made

[gbspunk]

I had loved that video so much, I bought the song off ITUNES bc I saw it on your video when my freind showed it to me. This is making me feel I wasted my.99 cents. I loved the response you gave here. Don't give up.

[shortkid405]

youtube SUCKS!!!!!!!! HERE THAT HARRY????!!!!! HOW COULD U BRIGN THIS POOR DUDE DOWN. HIS VIDEO WAZ AWESOME AND HE TOTALLY GAVE CREDIT TO COLDPLAY!

[smore333]

Thats NOT even fucking fair!!!! (excuse the language) that was an awesome vid u made playing viva la vida!!! how dare they take it down like it was a piece of crap!!! that was soo beautiful how u played it! I'm soo mad they did that!!! I like watch that vid everyday!!! I hope they put it bak up!!!! :(

[celiacassain111]

your right then all cover vids should have to be taken down couse that sux

[vestner]

You know what's funny? Colplay actually had the band Creaky Boards claim they plagirized this song from them because it sounded "similar". Sorry dude, really loved your video.

[cpowillems]

its okay---they did it to me too. i could have killed them.....

[BengaliBehala]

really?! what video did they take down for you?

[cpowillems]

it was a video that i filmed of my brother's fight.... i owned the footage, but a third party claimed that it was theirs and it was deleted.... lame!

[cpowillems]

they deleted it and then they posted it under their account name--- i will send it to you ---

[CuddlesXtreme]

i'm so sorry i couldn't see it.

i bet it was amazing.

I'm sure you'll get it back up.

I can't wait to see it :D

[xYuzuki]

God dude, that totally sucks! I'm so sorry that happened! Your video was the best on the site! Man, I'm ticked at EMI music right now. I check it out almost every time I come on to the site but haven't checked it in a while, so I didn't even know what happened! You put a lot of effort and time into that just and it got 1,000,000 views only to be taken off the site? That's totally stupid!

You still rock no matter what anyone else says!

[hockeyman378]

dude dont worry u still have those 1 million views with us we will suport u all the way

[RaydenXCn]

Damn. That sucks! Heres to the goal of getting this one million views. :p

[ChronicLulz]

Damn I loved the guitar in that video!

[lordlister28]

Sorry for you :'(

[Alm0stL0gan]

the best of luck dude, and anyway... you rock!!!

[rawsession]

Damn!!! This must be because the have the actual original sound recording playing in the background. That's why we started Raw Session! Sounds to me, you're gonna have to cover this one or another hit in Raw Session format with us and this time we will surpass 1.2 million views. What do you think?

Raw Session

[AdrianlovesAerosmith]

DAMN YOUTUBE

[TheIdiotBrokeaMirror]

man that sucks. totally unfair. what they're saying would mean that all the cover videos should be taken down. i mean wtf mate?

i hope it goes back up because it was a great video. keep fighting

[Akavimaru]

that suks

[Battlecruiser]

Hey Sajeeb, I remember one person had posted an official video of some song and it had millions of views, and it was competing with the official source's video. It was going to be pulled off, but in the description box, he repeatedly credited not only the artist but also the recording company. He made it explicitly clear it was their property, not his and even had a short blurb about them. I'm not sure what happened to it in the end, but maybe you could try that if all else fails?

[BengaliBehala]

hey thanks for the tip. I'll definitely make the crediting more explicit in my videos from now on as well as making amends to my old ones.

[xcrazyatomicboi]

maybe for the info u should put like this if for pure intertainment and this is not a copy nor a version of mine

[NoSugarNoMonkey]

Aww!!! I loved that video!!! :( I loved it man!

[mizpineapple]

AHH, u have got to be kidding me?!?!!? i LOVED THAT VIDEO!

[sfardous]

bummer! there are so many other people who put up cover videos as well. i think u caught their attention because you had so many views. i think u should keep fighting, at least it's worth a try. even if it doesn't wrk, it's still great that u had a million viewers. u should be proud =) gl!

[britlon]

that sucks

[lonewonder08]

Thats bullshit. Best of luck to ya man.

[jacacriss]

wow thats lame

so their saying you need permission from coldplay to put up a video of you playing there song? thats BS screw them your better ne way

[lobba]

... yeah... that sucks.... it sounded pretty good too.... eh, youtube is a vat of mysteries as is, so, dont worry about it so much... they're just hating on you because you play instruments really well, and they cant.... lol

[BlaibeBabyBam]

AYUDEN A Sajeeb A CONTACTAR A COLDPLAY Y ENMENDAR ESTA TRAGEDIA... te prometo amigo q haré todo lo posible xq se te devuelva el millon de visitas

[BlaibeBabyBam]

hola!

no se vale estoy totalmente decuerdo contigo es una lastima y una pena enorme q haya pasado este malentendido soy parte del más de million de visitas del video*

dime a donde firmo para q regresen el video

[jazzumss]

I'm sorry man, I really hope they put it back up ):

What really makes me mas is that if youtube took down every video that had copyright issues, there would be no youtube.

[ForgetfulDreams7]

man that sucks. if they take yours down, then all covers, from singing, piano, guitar, etc etc should be taken down. That's just not right. you credited coldplay, you never said it was your own.

[anashoque]

Don't worry sajeeb. Maybe you can rebound by making a video with me and my ethiopian slave!!!

Together we can be the next youtube sensations!!!

[UnholyVampireRomance]

Youtube. What the Fuck is wrong with you? This guy fucking rocks at music, OMFG 1MILLION VIEWS, then bam u fucking ruin it

[Kurfizzle]

keep your hopes high!!! I hope they can put your video back up and the last question that you put was true :O!

-crosses fingers

[Charlie7911]

Some youtube punk is jealous of you. They better put it back on with a million again. Wonder if this has anything to do with Viacom....
