  • if you made your cover up and it got taken down...what about all of David Side's videos

    arent they all covers??...

  • technically yeah. oh well, I'm over this nonsense.

  • its okay---they did it to me too. i could have killed them.....

  • really?! what video did they take down for you?

  • Hey Sajeeb, I remember one person had posted an official video of some song and it had millions of views, and it was competing with the official source's video. It was going to be pulled off, but in the description box, he repeatedly credited not only the artist but also the recording company. He made it explicitly clear it was their property, not his and even had a short blurb about them. I'm not sure what happened to it in the end, but maybe you could try that if all else fails?

  • hey thanks for the tip. I'll definitely make the crediting more explicit in my videos from now on as well as making amends to my old ones.

  • I'm sorry for you man, but that's actually what happens in every site where you can post stuff, like DeviantArt...

    IF YOU DO SOMETHING TOO GOOD, USING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL AS A BASE, THEY'LL REMOVE IT.

    Actually the same thing happened to me on DeviantArt: I did a painting and they blammed it because "IT WAS TOO SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL, AND LOOKED TOO PROFESSIONAL".

    But like you, i put a lot of effort in it, changing several things...

    IT'S THE COPYRIGHT WORLD MAN, GET USED TO IT.

  • yeah, but he credited it.. never said he wrote it.. never took credit.. all he did was post himself for fun, just playing instruments with it.

  • Dude, I make cover videos and they don't get taken down....I don't have a million views, but still, this isn't fair.

  • minority will rise my friend i promise that is fucking bs i will back you up all the way
