Youtube and The Detention Club
9 years ago
General
I tried to upload "The Detention Club" to youtube but it is BLOCKED WORLDWIDE for copyrighted content.
In particular, the 3 minute clip where Brian (Emilio Estevez) explains why he got detention.
I tried an old trick...I re edited the video and made that clip mirror image, so youtube couldn't identify it.
I uplaoded it to my alternate account just as a test and it worked!
I then uploaded it to my main furry account and..... BLOCKED WORLDWIDE!
So I this morning I filed a dispute claiming "fair use" as it is a remix or a mash up much like the donald duck cartoon seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/fair-use.html
And 3 hours later my claim was DENIED!
I think youtube is just being pricks here. I understand about copyrighted material but really now.
Did someone at youtube call Universal Pictures in Hollywood at 9 am on a Saturday and say,
"Hi, this is YouTube. Some furry in Florida wants to put 3 minutes of your 30 year old movie in his video. Are you OK with that? NO? Ok we will tell him you said no! OK thanks , bye!"
I might try this mirror image trick again at a later date. Or I might do part 1 and part 2 . Split the scene right down the middle.
I also re-uploaded my MFF 2013 con report video but the audio was muted because I used "Sweet Home Chicago" from The Blues Brothers (also a Universal picture) This will be an easy fix, I just need to replace the music.
I guess Universal is real protective of their movies and songs.
Gosh, I wonder how they will react when they find out I am making a Woody Woodpecker fursuit. :)
Until then, no Detention Club on youtube.

And you can be sure that if the music industry get their way, the movie industry will want it too.
