CENSORED BY COPYRIGHT | Dan Bull video removed from YouTube after criticising copyright abuse

This week, I made a parody music video criticising Lord Finesse for being a copyright draconian. Guess the fuck what. He had my video pulled down, claiming it infringed his copyright. Which proves my point more than anything I could have said myself. Techdirt has written an article on the issue here: http://bit.ly/NUffTy

Anyway, in response to that, I got my Michael Moore on and have made this video. Ridiculously, I have had to avoid showing you any segment of the censored video, or of the song which I am discussing, for fear that Finesse will try to have THIS video removed too. With that in mind, please mirror and share as much as possible in case this one gets hit with a takedown aswell.

I have fought ACTA, SOPA, DEA and various other forms of censorship in the name of copyright. I will not be silenced by this kind of abuse of the copyright system. The DMCA is not supposed to be used in this way.

I still need to decide what route I will take in challenging this action further, but I want you all to be aware of what has happened. Please like and share this video. If you are a content creator yourself, read up on fair use and fair dealing so that you are able to defend your own rights should this kind of thing happen to you. Reddit: http://bit.ly/LSfcM7

This video is intended as a educational commentary and criticism of the actions of Lord Finesse and his legal representative, Brian Levenson of Schwartz & Ponterio, PLLC.

Welcome to the world of Corruption and "The Most Money Wins!" How has your first year of living here been?

youtube went to shit when copyright infringements tightened up

[PrancingDoe]

It is sad. From what I have watched of Dan's videos, there is absolutely no reason to scream copyright infringement. Sadly this is just one of many rights that are being abused and used to oppress any outrage about such things. Normally I am all for copyrights, but when copyright claims are made for something that is CLEARLY not copyright, you abuse the system and deserve your copyrights revoked. This is like the Lutheran church copyrighting homemade videos that go against their religion.

Wow what a nob (not u dan)

Captainsparklez same situation with minecraft style

[JimmyRaySaysFuckYou]

Dan YouTube did the same thing to me and gave me 2 copyright strikes each on both my channels. I said FUCK THIS SHIT and just deleted all 300 some videos and closed my channels down. They didn't tell me they disabled my Google Ad-Sense and kept running their ads on my videos so they could make money off mt shit. I made this new channel and uploded 5 new videos. I selected "Do not sidplay ads on my videos." And yet again they run ads on my videos.So I said fuck it and deleted them also. Dumbasses

Dan shows that he is the bigger man at the end. He says that we should go and check out Lord Finesse's work and says that he is good. Now I wont because I dont want to do anything that will support him, since he missuse Copyright. In my eyes Lord Finesse is a criminal, but thats in my eyes.
