THX FILES FALSE CLAIM
ATTENTION: Sorry. If you were wondering what happened to Sam's video, THX Ltd. filed a false copyright claim against this video.
This video was uploaded on February 01, 2008. Almost eight months later, THX Ltd. decides to simply choose this video to be blocked, as their property, and the action put a strike against our YouTube account as a copyright violation. THX made a claim that we had used their content. It's quite obvious that they never even watched the video.
We'd also like to add that there are HUNDREDS of videos on YouTube for "dramatic lemur" alone using the THX audio, as an example. And, of course, all of them are still active. Therefore, this claim is suspicious.
For over two months, trying to get someone from THX to reply to their unjust actions with no reply, we finally demanded action and got the attention and communication we deserved. This communication should have been made BEFORE a claim was made against us.
This is not just a cute little video taken down with no big deal. This is a threat against our good account standing with YouTube, our paid partner affiliation, and the degradation of the name, Sam Harris.
THX finally took the time to actually review the content they made the claim on, and as anyone would see, they do not own anything on this video. This entire unprofessional action should be used as an example by anyone who is victim of similar frivolous claims.
Please feel free to use the comment area to discuss this matter as we have no problems speaking publicly about it, since THX had no problems creating a public announcement of our "violation" and "infringement" when anyone clicked the link.

well said, chris:-) i really would love to know how they can claim copyright with this video. it just doesn't make sense, does it? the worst part is for youtube to put a strike against sam's account. he's a youtube PARTNER for crying out loud. xoxo-vicki
THX Ltd... WTF... Copyright violation? Where? This is a joke, right. Come on Youtube. Sam Harris deserves an apology for putting him through this. He brings nothing but great vlogs to this site. Why don't you go after people who spew hate or violence. It's a shame!
i don't get this at all! copyright claim about what?? it is utterly rediculous and what is wrong with big corporations trying to throw their weight around! shame on them. they are probably all republicans! youtube, it's time to take that strike away against this account and do what is right and fair!!!
you are just hilarious! It's interesting to watch the race. I thought for a while Clinton and obama would be a great ticket but it was starting to sound like obama wouldn't do vice president on that ticket. Hillary Duff for president! (kidding)

BIG business is ready to kill over something simple.
It's so simple, to me anyway.
Why can't an enthusiastic person help promote something wonderful without being retaliated against from the creators themselves?
Has the world gone slightly mad over this "digital rights" crap?
Where does THIS video in particular threaten THX?
As they say in New England... "What the Christ?"
Oh...and the haircut DID turn out nice!
