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.

Create Like It's 1790.

Soundtrack:
Dan Bull - John Lennon
Dan Bull - Guilty

I've never heard of this guy, but I don't think I'll be buying any of his music anytime soon.

[Derpygamer123]

Watch as this video gets flagged by some douchebag. I'm certain that it will happen.

[xxkillaxx1231]

Your fans here have your support, either you can win it, or have one hell of a fight on your back, I'll support you the full way.

[xxkillaxx1231]

I'll support you'll until the end but the government isn't going to change what they have called "Fair Use", I believe that the government is fucking us over, and taking what they can out of us, like the American song you made about healthcare. We have no legal agreement and they'll just fund us for every little improvement to this goddamn country. I believe that getting the people involved in your fight will help improve a lot of cases that we have. Go with it Dan, kick Lords ass in court!!!

[xxkillaxx1231]

Dan Bull listen, the government gave us rights to protect our videos, but nothing will change. Lord "Finesse" will always get his way because he is a multimillionaire, from the understanding, the SOPA censorship fighting material, you'll get no where with fighting this battle unless you can handle a fight with days on in challenges of criticism from this supposedly "Copyright" bullshit. You'll get no legal support out of this unless you can convince thousands of people to help you! I support you
