Dear youtube
visionOntv only publishes under a creative commons license, distributing films produced by a wide range of video producers for educational purposes and for no commercial gain.
This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kQhlobFK5g) is clearly permissible under conditions of "fair use". Rather than being a simple copy of copyright material, it is a creative remix which is "transformative", and which clearly falls under the rubric of criticism, comment, and news reporting. With regard to the last, the company complaining of copyright infringement had suppressed news of the legal judgment which found against them for refusing to show ads by the producers of this video. The producers and distributors are therefore perfectly justified under terms of fair use, and the publication of this film is strongly in the public interest. The days of media mega-corporations being able to suppress news unfavourable to them or their advertisers are, we hope, now over.
Please therefore put the video back on show, and remove the alleged copyright infringement from our records.
I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court of San Francisco County, California and I will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
I enclose your original take-down notification below.
Yours sincerely
Richard Hering (visionOntv)
