my copyright claim

Us YLs (YUILovers) are so used to seeing this sign on YouTube, we even started making cynical jokes about Sony:

So a few days ago I was YouTube-ing for this new song by Super Junior called Sorry, Sorry - Answer. Then I came across a video of mine that I am 100% sure I didn't upload onto my server.

I have been hacked, again. No idea who this jobless hacker is and what is he/she's purpose, but seriously twice I have to apologize to people close to me for something I did not do on the Internet. WTF.

You see, this video is not meant to be seen by the general public yet. Meaning, it has a high chance of being released in the future, but NOT NOW. I panicked for a bit and consulted my friend as to what should be done.

Sending a message to the damn person who upload the video didn't work, so I decide to take drastic action (I feel very old using this term, but 19 is like seriously old already, so whatever).

That is, sending out a Copyright Infringement Notification via YouTube!


Half an hour later I received an email:


Yay! Removed!

I tried the link to the stolen video and this is what I saw:


I LOL-ed at the notice. This is my first copyright claim on YouTube and hopefully it will also be the last.

Out.
