Need Advice About Copyright Stuff

[KapteinFruit]

So I uploaded this video yesterday. It's the Portal 2 song. And then during the night after it was uploaded I got a Copyright notice thing that said it contains copyrighted material from IGN which it does not! I recorded the video my self. You can even hear a Skype bleep from my brother writing to me on Skype. (Barely noticeable. Lucky me.

) I then received an email later that night saying that the video won't be taken down or anything. I don't really care if it would be taken down because a proper high quality 720p MP4 file is only very small. The Portal 2 song video is only 20MB. So it will only take me a few mins to upload it again with a logo or something. Nevertheless, it's my video and I don't want IGN to get credit for something they didn't do and I can't figure out how to send a counter Copyright thing. So does anyone know how I do that?

it is the same with music and films - unless the origins of the media belongs to you, someone else must have created it.... so, the rights belong to them. as long as you dont intend on making a profit from the 'video', you will be fine.

it to cover their butts. on youtube, and some other media sharing sites, you can earn money from some advertising revenues, once a certain hits-per-day has been reached. as your video contains a copyrighted source, you are now exempt from getting any revenue from it

YouTube has some new tech that can somehow detect some copy protected content. For instance, I recorded a short clip off of HULU.com of Peter from Family guy playing Modern Warfare 2 on the xbox 360. Recorded with a screen capture to video and uploaded with discription and boom, instant rejection.

So thought I would be slick, I Later redownloaded the video, Put it through Windows Movie editor and converted etc. to make it an entirely new vid with different source. Then posted it no mention of or use any keywords from the show such as Peter, Family guy, xobx, tv ...Etc, put in just Funny vid.

The system still picked it up right away as protected content, I do not know how the hell it works but YouTube has a program that can tell where the origional content came from.

Probably something that looks at the core coding of a clip and sees how significantly it matches up with a whole library of copyrighted clips. If the match is similar enough, it flags up.

i doubt it is software based

they employ hundreds of people

new clips are more than likely moderated by humans

Im sure they do that too, but this was turned down instantly! Tried it a couple different times, It caught it within seconds both times. Did not even get to the point where I could see the vid on youtube, even before it goes public. Just shut down right off. I even put fake search keywords such as Metal, Welding. And gave fake title like Sail Boat. Re edited and put into new video format but it is reading something in the code somewhere that is imprinting FAMILY GUY somewhere from the origional source which was hulu.com. I could not trick the system.

IGN Won't own that. Valve will own pretty much everything on portal 2.

I guess they probably have both, but then software would be able to check the video as its uploaded, which would go some way to explaining how it was instantly detected.

I wonder if YouTube will ever tell us

I'm guessing it has to be some kind of voice recognition software. If GameOver uploaded a video with Peter from Family Guy's voice in it but no image or keywords that would flag it then it has to be the audio. Try altering the pitch, synchronization or speed of the the audio and see if it still gets flagged.
