I uploaded a video, using a song that wasn't mine. I included the info on the song, as well as where to retrieve the original.
I received a copy-write claim. I received a notice that I had to remove the video or reply to the email within 24hrs or the video would be blocked.
Ok, I understand this, and had that been the case, I would have gladly removed the video, after saving it, since it took a lot of work, and my hardcopy of it was lost in a pc crash.
However, the notice was sent to me 40 mins before I was able to read it, I used the link provided to retrieve my video, and it had already been blocked.
It wasn't even an hour, let alone 24...
Now my video is lost.
I understand the copy-write issue even though I did not monetize the video, nor was I gaining any monies.
However, this website is FAMOUS for hosting ripped movies, and TV shows. There are THOUSANDS of videos where people use popular songs. And yet, they attacked MINE?
And then, broke their own rules by not allowing me to retrieve it, in the allotted time?
DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE!
I will never again use it, and I am having my children take their videos down.
We are moving over to Vimeo.
