			<description><![CDATA[check this out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Xx9Q0JtQQ the changedotgov channel, it even has a link in it's description to it's creative commons - got tagged. look at the dance mix links on the lower right of the video - and it has an ad. Obama got tagged for his own speech, apparently his 2008 victory speech was an acapella for a dance mix.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Add one more to the list I currently have 2 videos with live performances of PUBLIC DOMAIN compositions with claims against them. The first is a christmas video of my wife and I playing "Silent Night". We worked out the music by ear then performed recored etc. ourselves. Warner Chappell claims copyright. I Disputed the claim they rejected it...dead end. I'm not even sure who to contact a Warner Chappell to request that they rtetract the claim. The other video is of my friend playing Bach cello suite no.4. It drew 3 copyright claims from GoDigital, AdRev and an entity called "Public Domain Compositions". GoDigital and AdRev have released the claims and I'm still waiting to hear for this mysterios third. Thanks for all of the information you've posted it's good to know that I'm in the right.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Patrick, we spoke/wrote a while ago. Just wanted to give you an update. managed to get all videos on YouTube unblocked except for one. I still have one that is blocked to viewers in the United States only by Warner Chappell. I've written them multiple letters but they continue their block. It seems that companies like this are manipulating the Content ID. I was able to get my videos unblocked by being a persistant pest to both YouTube and Claimants. After many communications you can see my videos, but some are still wrongfully being claimed as copyright infringement. This system is faulty and unfair. YouTube is not being diligent in solving the loophole. If enough people could join in a Class Action, maybe we could force them to change. Please let me know if you hear of any such action forming or forward any new updates you receive. Thank you very much for your help and efforts in assisting the YouTube users. Best regards.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We have massive problems with "entities" making claims on PUBLIC DOMAIN videos on our channel, CinemaVintage - They even try to claim The Prelinger Archives (Rick Prelinger who dedicated it all to the public domain at Internet Archive was interested to know this btw)- and these "entities" are numerous and relentless. Not just EMI claiming US government PD but companies like "GoDigital" who insist, in order to "remove the claim" that YT users wfill out their site form, giving them the user's LEGAL info in a very long form. "Shamaroo Ent" "Viewster/DivaAG" and "Cinetel Multimedia" keep claiming movies like "My Man Godfrey". We do everythign in our power to dispute them, including persistent direct contaact, but it's no good. They keep coming again and again. The public domain is already shrinking and getting smaller. These "entities" will "claim" it until it no longer exists and YouTube, contacted many times' do nothing. This is a serious problem for many, not just us, and one no one seems to genuinely care about. Everyone will miss the public domain... when it's finally gone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Don't delete your videos! This is a wrong way to cut roots of the misconduct by others! Let your videos collect data of the miscobduct by partners-in-association-with-youtube-and-google. It will be helpful, when fbi agents will visit them for an inspection of servers]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Patrick, you can add my name to the list of people in limbo. Furthermore, my video was/is blocked in the US as well! Since I have no more dispute options, I will probably: delete the video, re-upload it, and try to dispute via Content ID when the inevitable block occurs again. Rinse and repeat as neccessary... Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you in your fight!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Content ID system is completely internal to YouTube, so I don't see any way it could affect your videos beyond YouTube. Deleting the videos would prevent them from claiming them, though they could always upload them to YouTube themselves, or someone else could and they could claim them then. But just because YouTube lets them claim the videos on their site doesn't give these companies any actual rights in your video that they could assert elsewhere.]]></description>
