Revolution PAC & RonPaulGrassroots deleting Ron Paul Youtube videos for "copyright"

Today I was reviewing Youtube videos in my favorites and I noticed dozens of really good videos missing. There seems to be a renewed effort by media corporations to delete videos for "copyright," simply because a video might contain something that is copyrighted. Though I am disappointed that people are probably not defending their right to fair use, I was not surprised to see a renewed censorship effort by media.

What I did not expect is to see Ron Paul videos and channels deleted due to Revolution PAC and RonPaulGrassroots. Any video which I had Favorited was definitely a good pro-Ron Paul video. It's shameful to see Revolution PAC and RonPaulGrassroots stooping to the same level of the giant media corporations, especially when the videos and channels they are having deleted are pro-Ron Paul.

Fight any and all copyright claims! Apparently you have to do this even for footage from groups which proclaim to be for liberty now. If you are using copyrighted material do not enable revenue sharing, nor monetize your videos for ads. Choose Educational for your channel type. You have a fair use right to use any copyrighted material for nonprofit educational, commenting, and even criticism purposes if you defend yourself.

You can file counter-notifications online at Youtube here.

They can't take MY videos!

I have 124 videos uploaded to my YouTube Channel - psychictaxi :

http://www.youtube.com/user/Psychictaxi

I filmed every one of them with my own hand, and own them all. They cannot be removed for 'copyright violation' because they are MINE! heh heh

I did remove one video I took at a Concert for Ron Paul (that we staged) that the Artist requested because he signed a contract with a label that now owned his 'music'.

Rights are like muscles; you must exercise them to keep them fit, or they will atrophy and die.

Darn

I was expecting this, just not so soon. It's a great tool for us.

I know there were a couple

I know there were a couple ron paul videos that had porn inserted (probably by supporters of other candidates) - maybe it is related to something like that. I'm sure they aren't trying to limit the reach of their own ads...

Who knows why.

Maybe Gary Franci woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

He has struggled for years gaining financial support. I know him personally. He's been to my home in PA.

Just send traffic to Rev Pac's Channel.

I realize they are supposed to be

By why have Ron Paul supporter videos deleted? That is very lame.

I was thinking of donating to them since I maxed out on the campaign, but if they're going to be copyright sticklers with real Ron Paul grassroots videos, then I'm less interested.

False claimant is a possibility

Maybe they don't want their videos edited to be perverted by an opposition group.
Maybe they have signed agreements with people in the videos and are bound to some kind of protection.

I don't know.

The main thing is they are available and can be added to hundreds of thousands of people's favorites lists.

And see what happens.

Copyright claims are out of control, and I fight back.

So let's delete Romney things....

I am sure a case can be made for him having the same copyright violations. You know they have at least SOMETHING to do with it!

I wonder if it can be shown a bias against RP

or if the other candidates are being pulled equally. How odd...youd think the party would invite the advertising...*sarcasm*

Shocking and Sad

I would have never expected this from two supposedly pro-liberty groups. Beyond insane.

RevPac also seems to be against the Super-Brochure

Let's research this and see if there is a trend!
