You have to be very careful what you upload onto YouTube these days. I recently received an email from them a few months after uploading a video clip I had made.
Video Removed: Copyright Infringement
This originally had me baffled. The email said that a third party had complained of an infringement to their copyright caused by the Video and so it had been removed. After a bit of head scratching, I realised that I had used some background music on the video. This was the problem.
Like many people, I had shot a short clip, put some music onto it and then uploaded.
Not wanted to get my account suspended, I then deleted three other videos that possibly could be brought up for the same offence. YouTube were right in removing the videos as they were indeed infringing on a copyright. It just goes to show, with the ease of media use, you have to be extra vigilant.
Incidentally, I did some searches on YouTube afterwards and the amount of Videos that could be removed for the same offence were... practically all of them!
This sort of extensive and widespread media use is impossible to 100% police and I think it's inevitable in the future that YouTube will do some sort of deal with major Music Companies.
