BP's Gulf Oil Spill - All You Fascists Bound to Lose

The original video, "BP's Gulf Oil Spill - This Land Is Your Land," was set to Woody Guthrie's classic and in full compliance with fair use provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 107, yet was automatically censored by software which detects any WMG IP, regardless of use. I will be challenging this fully, however the song "All You Fascists Bound to Lose" applies equally well to BP and WMG at this point. It is also in the public domain. Enjoy.

YouTube gave me this message: "As a result, your video is blocked worldwide. No action is required on your part. Your video is still available worldwide."
