Hi, the video is working for me. (Austria,Vienna)

Thank you for sharing your Intellectual Propperty. And get them bastards the next time by some kind of CC licence.

Very bad for Google, they can’t be trusted to make the right decissions on their mathematical formulas and statistics all the time…

I hope the human in the loop they have will help you get your rights as well as your video up!

lg,

Marcus

Take a leaf out of their book, file a DMCA Complain against them for use of your video without permission, see how they like it. Might be able to make some royalties out of them or at least embarrasses Google into actually checking videos properly.

Yes I know its harsh but it’s your video you should get to decide who gets to use it and under what conditions, especially if they are a big faceless cooperation. LOL, remember this is taking a leaf out of their book.

I got an error with vimeo. I would not take it personally though. It can be fickle with codecs and some videos. Try uploading the same thing next week in a different codec.

Also, thou art the man.

How can we help?

If you didn’t file the counternotice that Google described in its web page, you have nothing to complain to Google about. They are merely doing exactly what the law says they have to do (which includes making absolutely ZERO value judgments on whether or not the 236.com complaint is legitimate or not). See the Chilling Effect FAQ on this law if you don’t believe me. http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi

Get mad at 236.com if you wish, but don’t blame Google for this one. Remember, if Google didn’t have a safe harbor law like this, it probably wouldn’t exist since everybody would be suing Google for copyright infringements done by its users.

That just fills me with rage. Google has been fucking up so much with those videos that it’s not even funny any more.

If there’s anything we can do to help, a lot of us are willing to.

Just to repeat what others have said…thanks for releasing your work to the world, and what can we do to help correct this?

If you post possible avenues, they will propagate through the internets.
