Did I Miss It Or Was There No Post About The Hitler Videos Being Removed?

Made back in 2006. Won Best Foreign Film and a whole slew of prestigious international awards. If you haven't seen the actual movie, I really do suggest grabbing it.

That being said, the producers asking for it to be pulled is sad. I saw an interview in the NYT, I believe, with the original German director who said he was quite a fan of all the parodies because they were, in a way, a compliment to his directing skill at setting up a scene.

>< I hate that copyright crap! It's not like anyone was making any money off them.

Now someone should make a "Hilter finds out his videos were pulled from youtube" video. :P

That alone should mean they shouldn't be removed =/ if they guy who created them not only doesn't care that his work is being used, but actually likes them, then where's the harm? >.< this copyright-piracy thing is getting a bit out of hand.

I SO would if I still had my video editing software =/

...Then why don't we try and contact them, like I did with my Karla Holmoka Teale Case, Lobby the Creator of the Film, and see if he would support or agree about the idea. I mean , if its not the Offical Creator thats doing it, when who is, Jaerik, who do you think would do this?

There are still a few up :D

I believe this sums up everything.

Tell me I can not be the first to put up this two day old news?

Copyright Claim Disputes: Filing a counter-notification
Print

When we receive a notification of alleged copyright infringement, we remove the posting that is the subject of the notification. If we remove one of your videos, we email you, and place a note in your account at http://youtube.com/account#manage/status_copyright

If you believe your content was misidentified as infringing, you may file a counter-notification. If you did not have all of the rights to post the material at issue, you MUST NOT submit a counter-notification. Under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages.

There are two processes for counter-notifications:

* DMCA counter-notification
* International counter-notification

If the original claim of alleged infringement was submitted under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, you must use the DMCA counter-notification.

International claimants in some countries may submit claims under a slightly different process. In these cases, while the DMCA counter-notification is still acceptable, a user who does not live in the United States may alternatively respond with an international counter-notification.

The chief difference is that the DMCA process requires that the user consent to the jurisdiction of a United States court.

The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.

The one about the level cap increase was pure win.

My favorite one was the salvage bans, but they took it down :(
