Anybody here familiar with YouTube, as far as uploading videos? If so, I could use some help.
I've uploaded hundreds of guitar videos without a problem. Well, with Christmas around the corner, I wanted to be in the spirit and upload some Christmas tunes. I put together a nice litlle video for Burl Ives "Holly Jolly Christmas", but when I tried to upload it came back as "Rejected. Blocked by content owner." I tried three or four times, even changing the title to the more generic "Christmas Music." Still no dice. But when I did a search, someone else had posted the exact same track, with their video, and it had thousands of views. So what I'm wondering is 'How the heck do you get past the filters? It obviously can be done since someone else did it, but I'm stumped as to how. Anybody know the secret?

It sounds like YouTube is recognizing the metadata (especially if you got the original track off of a CD), and that it already corresponds to information in YouTube's database for material to block. The person who posted the video with the same track you're using most likely got in the metadata and edited it.
If you search around the web, you might be able to find tools for your system that will allow you to change the metadata. |

YouTube now has audio 'fingerprints' of music ... if they detect the song as a copyright work, they either reject it outright, or let the owner take a share of the AdSense profits generated by the video.
I don't know the copyright status of the paticular song you are trying to upload, but if you want to file a counter-claim read all of this: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bi......er=59826 As you can see, there is little protection for people that are falsely accused of copyright violations - there is no 'innocent until proven guilty', you must prove that you are not guilty. This has been generating a lot of problems, even John McCain complained about YouTube's rejecting his campaign commercials. By the time he jumped through the hoops, the commercial was no longer relevant ... which is the way it may end up for you with a Christmas video. You can blame Verizon - they have forced Google to take this hardliner approach with their lawsuit which they have virtually no hope of ever winning, and are merely using tax payer money to force Google to give them a bigger piece of the pie. -JoeJoe

Did he just call us "Tubers"? I'm not sure I like that...

An item of metadata may describe an individual datum, or content item, or a collection of data including multiple content items and hierarchical levels, for example a database schema. In data processing, metadata is definitional data that provides information about or documentation of other data managed within an application or environment. For example, metadata would document data about data elements or attributes, (name, size, data type, etc) and data about records or data structures (length, fields, columns, etc) and data about data (where it is located, how it is associated, ownership, etc.). Metadata may include descriptive information about the context, quality and condition, or characteristics of the data. Whew! Did Dr Seuss write that? Data data metadata data, here a data there a data everywhere a data. Old Mc data had a farm, Eee I Eee I O! Wow All that sounds like pure redundancy to my untrained ears! Either that, or they're talking about an episode of Star trek T.N.G.

I am as weary as anyone else of overreaching by copyright-owners - but this rejection is not overreaching, it's legit. They have a right to their intellectual property. Quit trying to upload it.
Every time someone tries to game the system by mis-appropriating legitimate intellectual property, it weakens the arguments against fair use that really is "fair". |
