YouTube removed one of my videos!

After over 300,000 some odd views on YouTube, "Bobby Brown - On Our Own from Ghostbusters II" was pulled due to some douchebag complaining of copyright ownership. So I posted the following on my main account info page:

"As of today, someone, and I don't know who, complained that this video was copyrighted and had YouTube pull it down. I will not dispute the fact that it was copyrighted back in 1989. Whether or not the original copyright holders kept up the copyright or not I don't know. As a great deal of my content is copyrighted material(i.e. Ghostbusters, Transformers, etc.), YouTube could conceivably receive more complaints about my alleged "illegal" content and have it removed. If this does indeed happen, I will of course abide by the decision of the lame-o's who run YouTube, and pull them down, and I will not replace them. Once all of my content has been flagged and removed, I will no longer have anything to do with this page, so if there is something that you liked on my page, please feel free to grab it with whatever vid grabber you have, as when it's gone, it's gone. I apologize to all of the people who joined my friend list or subscribed because of the content that may end up gone, and I hope that you have enjoyed all that I have been able to bring to all of you. And to the copyright holders who piss and moan over 10 - 20 year old music videos or commercials, that they aren't even making money off of anymore, well I hope that you are all happy that you are making the internet a little less free. Thanks to all who befriended me and subscribed. You guys made Bobby Brown - On Our Own from Ghostbusters II" a great success and I really appreciate it.

Peace!"


I truly cannot understand what goes through the mind of some of these copyright holders who cling desperately to an old commercial or music video some 10 to 20 years after it's money making life cycle has ended, and deny fans the right to show their love for said property. I mean Jesus Christ, how was I exploiting the copyright on a 19 year old music video, that was being watched for purely nostalgic reasons? YouTube is a bunch of pussies, that capitulate to alleged copyright holders faster than the French to the Nazi's in WWII. Fuck Youtube.
