Feel free to continue emailing YouTube BR Enter Music and the German National Library and to tell them just how ridiculous you find this entire affair. Let’s hope that somehow it all comes clean in the wash but this entire experience isn’t making me optimistic.

What a load of crap! A big, stinky, corporate, bureaucratic dump. business days to review and respond.” So it’s up to YouTube to decide if my incredibly truncated response is even sent to BR Enter Music, and then it’s unclear what BR Enter can or cannot do in their “response” or what rights I have in this one sided process.

If accepted, it will be forwarded to the claimant who removed your video. Then I had to agree to their terms.įinally, I was told, “Your counter notification is awaiting review by YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube’s ridiculous system limits the number of characters I can type here.” I have composed a lengthy argument 1) Explain why Nazi Propaganda is in the Public Domain, and 2) Why, even if it was not in the Public Domain, everything I have done in this film meets the four criteria commonly used to define Fair Use in U.S. “In my expert opinion, as a documentarian and a professor of film, with an MFA in my field, I am confident that my documentary should not have been removed. This was literally as much as they would allow me to say: Unfortunately, YouTube severely limits the number of characters they will allow you to use in making your claim, so I could not put in the lengthy rebuttal I had composed. Only after this did I reached the box where I could enter the details of my counter-notification. Once I finally got back into my account and clicked on the counter-notification options they tried to scare me off from going any further. I did not watch the video, I simply answer the questions and, “Congratulations,” I passed. In order to even access my account and file a counter-notification I had to complete, “copyright school.”Īs you can see, the instructions tell you to watch this video and answer four questions about it. Yes, that’s right, I am being penalized because a third party, acting for a fourth, imagines that they own the copyright to a sound recording of Nazi Propaganda specifically the, “Horst Wessel Song,” aka the Nazi Anthem, which you can listen to on any number of YouTube channels. As I have previously discussed, and discussed, BR Enter Music, in the name of the German National Library, has removed my documentary, You don’t know Hitler (2006) from YouTube and I now have a, “copyright strike,” against me (two more within 90 days and my YouTube account will be shut down).
