Go SAVAGE that Spider!!! (3 dogs savage a spider. It turns into a moth as defense mechanism)

Go SAVAGE that spider-moth, pint!
(3 stupid, dozy dogs fail to catch a cornered spider!!!)

This is a re-uploaded version of a video that had been removed for alleged copyright infringement. The re-uploaded version features a song I wrote myself...
"REG187 - Ode Xyun Cays"

This originally uploaded in January 2010. It got 1122 views and 31 comments in its first week... And then YouTube suggested I "earn money from my popular video and submit it for revenue sharing". This seemed great, so I (foolishly) went through the lengthy sign up process.

However, once YouTube reviewed it, they decided it should be "rejected - content inappropriate", and they DELETED it form YouTube altogether... without a word of warning! So just a cautionary tale to anyone thinking that YouTube asking you to submit a popular video for revenue sharing means they want to help you...

The reason it was removed is because it contained a 8 second long clip of Carly Simon singing the PUBLIC DOMAIN chldrens nursery rhyme "Itzy Bitzy Spider" as part of the extended version of her 1980s hit "Comin' around again". When I submitted the song for revenue sharing, I stressed that this was a fair use of the material... but this plea fell on deaf ears.

Another video I had uploaded around the time featured my sister singing "Amarillo" on New Year's eve while my parents danced to it.... This was also removed for "copyright infringement" even though it was not the official recorded version.

Personally, I think that sort of lack of creative vision / fear of litigation -if left to fester- will strangle the life out of YouTube...

Example - look up a kid called "Greyson Chance" on YouTube. He played the piano & sang Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" at a school concert... the footage was posted to YouTube, and he was so good, it was picked up by music moguls, and he now has a record deal, and is expected to have a lucrative worldwide singing career... but according to YouTube's LAME copyright paranoia, that video should not have been uploaded, and should have been removed for copyright infringement. Then the boy might never have been discovered... Same goes for that annoying Justin Bieber child.

I really hope that some of the Irish mods on YouTube can be inspired by similar success stories, and find motivation through creativity and passion, rather than be stifled by fear, nanny-state mentality, or lack of vision.

Anyway, the video is now back online with the Carly Simon song removed... but it is not as good as the original by any stretch of the imagination, and I firmly believe that the use of that 8 second clip of a public domain nursery rhyme was not an infringement... Some of the Irish YouTube mods need to take a chill pill!
