A COPYRIGHT CONUNDRUM?

Yeah so the video got taken down sadly due to the music, but that makes two strikes to the channel so I can't afford another. Apologies on that but this hasn't dented my spirit! Thanks again for the stellar support, you really are the best subscribers!

Youtube & there bloody copyright infringements its friggin stupid. Why did they give you a strike for it though if it was audio?... I've had 4/5 of my videos blocked due to audio but all they do is either block in certain countries ( the danceoff is blocked in Germany lol)... or mute the audio bit drastic to give you a strike. is it cos they've told you to take it down but disobeyed? just a warning to change the audio woulda done. to bypass put the track thru audacity n change the pitch by 0.5

@shockz16 Frustrating eh! A non profit video, "fan film" if you will and I get this lobbed at me. Banned in Germany!? lol Nah mate, I've been given the chance before to swap audio but not this time, was just a flat out removal of video and then I had to answer a quiz on copyright to actually do anything again lol :| Yeah I'll work my way around it if I ever do another video like this! Cheers for the tips mate :)

"Same time tomorrow" lol - Yeah, does sound like a TV show but that's not a bad idea actually! Bit of a drag you had the second strike Lewis but what can you do? I think YT are way too stringent on their rules - I get that's it's a copyright issue but it's just a shame that everything always revolves around money. If anything you could argue that using copyright material benefits the artist/publisher (etc) as it gains them more exposure and potentially more revenue so they should be thankful lol

@bluetonic78 I have honestly no idea what came over me to say that haah! It is a bit mate but many ways around it I suppose but I just can't afford to get another strike and loose the channel! Exactly! The rules are so backwards these days, hitting hard on us non-profit youtubers just to show off an actual homage to the movie. Isn't that a good thing!? Thanks for the comment Alex!

I got a strike for uploading the title screen to The X Files on PS1... Bullshit mate! Pick ups, gameplays, wierd stuff - it's all good mate, variety makes you more interesting as a person = me enjoying watching :)!

[iCrytex]

@ninjabearhug Really!? A title screen!? You must have been raging mate lol :| Yeah this is a better time than ever to introduce a bit of variety so got lots of ideas flying about but be sure to see some gameplay and commentary some point soon! Thanks a lot mate :)

Sorry to hear about your copyright issues. :(

In general, I've found YouTube can be quite inconsistent with how they enforce their policy on this. Only the other day, I saw a video, which had Britney Spear's: "Toxic" playing on top of it and had millions of hits, yet, it's stayed up (don't get me wrong, it's a pretty neat vid) but then other channels include copyrighted content and they get flagged. :(

Yeah: I have odd sayings in my videos when starting and/or finishing too. :)

@lvpepe38 It is yeah, thanks Louis. But it is more of a lesson learned I suppose! 

[iCrytex]

@Masteroftuba3 Yeah it would be terrible to loose it now at this stage :( So I think I'll take things easy and be sure of what I'm uploading.. If this is the way things are then who knows what it will be like if SOPA or PIPA pass! :O Thanks a lot bro!

[iCrytex]

@ibbotson22 Hahaha yeah you tube's ignorance has sharpened me up for a little bit of the ultra violence!! lol Yeah I think I'll mix it up a bit but it seems like gameplay and commentary in general is the way forward! Well hopefully I will show off a selection maybe and see what you guys like!

Not sure if you can actually check but just be aware of how many times you have been told to remove something! I know I got a strike before so this is my second! Third strike, yer out!

@LeBossu77 True mate I may even have one LP going while having a variety of just gameplay and commentary running a long side them. I'm definitely going to try and get more minecraft videos done though, people seem to like them! Yeah it's a bit of a gutter but a lesson learned I suppose! Cheers Owen!
