I'm not getting any penny for this or any of my videos. I think this is an exaggeration that really pisses me off.

[tplyons]

It's ridiculous, the same deal as the tabs being taken down, even if it's for educational purposes. I'm not a lawyer, but it doesn't seem right to me at all.

[MJ5150]

Plead your cause. Perhaps someone thinks you are making money from the videos.

So I guess YT is pulling all Led Zep play-alongs?

Oh wait....

That sucks man.
Sounds stupid to me.

Do you have the original music in your video?
I had youtube pull a video I made as a student film because it had unlicensed music in it. Basically it was the same letter as yours but "The Lemon Song" by Led Zeppelin was replaced with "Is It My Body" by Sonic Youth.

Yes. But again, I used it just as a backing track with no intention of getting any benefits.

I've just filled the dispute form, asking to reconsider the decision in the most respectfully possible way.

I think thats the problem, technically it is infringing on copyright laws to display another person's original work without consent.

Myself, I just used other peoples original music in the video, and I never used it to make money, just as an example of my movie making skills, but still, the music wasnt licensed, so it was taken down.

Way to go. Good call to be respectful. Congratulations on not letting the man keep you down!

People like me need your videos to make us better bass players, so thank you!!!!

Nice job! And I love that old Peavey, very cool.

[Deacon_Blues]

Nice work on that. Good that it's back up.

I can't believe that the record companies don't see how great advertising this is for the music they sell. I don't own a single Led Zeppelin record, but I seriously consider buying one now, after seeing your clip. The bassline in that song is just awesome!

[Relic]

Alvaro,
I love that T-40! I just got one too, great basses.

[varunkapahi]

nice! btw i really feel that your bass was a tad a little too loud against the backing track imo

I guess that was the whole point with the clip, so you could hear the bassline as clearly as possible.

I filled the dispute form exactly the same way I did with my "Lemon Song" video, explaining in the most respectfully way that I'm not earning any money from this video nor claiming any ownership over the original recording. It didn't work this time.

They've got a hard-on for you, and it's BS.

[bassrique]

Perhaps if you shortened up the vid a bit like Marlowe did here, they'd leave you alone?

You're on their radar now. Everytime you flush the toilet, they are going to investigate.

I have heard if you leave the audio out of the first 45 seconds of the video, then they will not copyright claim it.
