...its not like any one is making money off of it.

Also is YouTube getting that bad enigma? If so there will be a lot of videos on there losing their audio. Pretty dam sad if you ask me its not like any one is making money off of it.

Today, I got an email from you guys stating that some music I had in one of my computer gameplay videos was copyright infringement. You took the audio out of my video. I can understand your actions If I were making money illegally from someone elses work, that would be wrong on my part. But my videos, like many others here on youtube are just for fun and creative enjoyment. To say or imply I have infringed on someone elses rights because I liked their music enough to use it in a fun, creative video of mine, a non-commercial use video of mine is just plain wrong and in my opinion an abuse of the copyright infringement laws by yourselves and those who own the copyright to the music.

I would also have you know that about a quarter of the music I have bought on my itunes account was bought by myself because I saw and heard that music on other people's videos here on youtube. I have watched many interesting and well done videos by people here on youtube, thought the music was pretty cool and then went searching for it on itunes, found it and purchased it for my own personal use and enjoyment. I'm sure I am not alone in this.

In other words, people using music in their creative videos here on youtube have actually been a form of advertisement for your copyright holder's intellectual property and have helped in their (copyright holders) own making of money with that property. They are cutting their own throats when it comes to this abuse of the copyright infringement laws.

Obviously my own purchase of music will now take a dip since I will not be watching anymore videos on youtube.

Good day.
