May 5, 2008My friend needs and answer to this but we can’t find one, so here it is.
he got an email from youtube stating that a company had a claim on his video, but it was allowed to stay up, but with advertising and that they will receive statistics from his video. he said he deleted the video from his account after reading this. what’s gonna happen? was that okay for him to do?
Horaayy..there are 5 comment(s) for me so far ;)
I dont think your friend has anything to worry about.
Okay basically what happened was that if your friend kept the video up, he’d have to insert ads onto his page that the company would provide. This would just provide insight onto who looks at his videos. Deleting it is perfectly fine, nothing will happen. This has happened to me many times before so your friend will be fine.
The company were claiming copyright on the audio (or else some of the video images) on the video but (surprisingly) were allowing it to stay up. A video affected in this way usually remains on your account but CANNOT be viewed.
Nothing is going to happen. The company were probably planning to study the number of hits and if the video proved popular, release it themselves. This cannot now happen if the video has been deleted
Did your friend upload a copyrighted video? If so the company simply required YouTube to state that it wasn’t his video. You didn’t have to delete the video.
one of my friends gets them all the time, your friend didn’t need to take it off, nothing will happen
