I need some major help. My entire youtube account has been disabled.
I spent hours uploading 28 videos from the Rocklahoma Music Festival on Tuesday. Most were of me and my friends backstage, in the car, etc.
A few were short clips of the performers (there are 1000s of clips of the show on youtube). .... apparently someone from Metal Method Productions Inc. flagged the 2 videos I had up of Lita Ford as copyright infringement.
The videos were under 2 min in length, the quality was poor, and honestly they showcased me and my friends singing along from the side of the stage more then her performance.
However, I completely understand it is the performers right to claim copyright infringement.
Lita hasn't performed since 1993. Youtube didnt exist back then. She's probably just not used to videos on the web, mere days after she performs.
But now.. my entire account has been shut down. 80+ videos. GONE!
All my acting demos, hosting demos, plays, short films, and interviews. My horrorfest video with 50,000+ views on it!
I've spent so much time creating my youtube page, and the links to those videos are embeded on myspace as well as other sites, and now all of my linked videos are disabled.
I send casting directors and potential employees to youtube all the time.
Im having trouble getting a human being on the phone, and my email correspondence keeps receiving automated form letter type replies. Basically stating that I have been cited multiple times for copyright and my account has been terminated.
It's not like I'm a child posting other people's work on a daily basis. I am a working actress, using youtube to help market my career. I apologize for overstepping Lita Ford's copyrights, and will never, ever do anything even remotely considered copyright again. Please... anyone, work for Youtube?
I need a major favor here. Help! ~Leah Cevoli http://www.myspace.com/leahann
