What a fucking joke. I showed fictional people being hurt, big deal right?
What do you think I should say in my appeal?

[Victor Cleave]

oh that's just silly.

Man, that sucks, but you know what I say about this:

[butthole]

man that's lame. I ironically enough had about 5 people in the past month ask me about that video which was weird because before that it had been a while since anyone had mentioned it. I wonder what sparked the sudden interest in the video? I literally hadn't heard anything about it in quite a while and then all of a sudden like 5 kids ask me about it at various shows. Weird.

Canine, that is bullshit man. There are other videos on Jewtube that have people dying, war, etc. I actually like your video and posted a comment on it (I was james30721). I'm sorry that bullshit happened man.

Actually that makes me wonder, why didn't they take down your Chaos Reighns video?

I have no idea why they didn't take down Chaos Reigns or my 10 minute Deftones/Aphex Twin video. The long one is way worse as its theme is the grotesque so it just shows a bunch of really fucked up shit from horror films. I'm guessing some asshole who is either against vegans or death metal complained to youtube about it. I can still appeal the decision. I think in the appeal I may say the band is pro animal rights, I was making a video not to shock but to show that animals can still be very powerful etc.

Nah, I doubt its due to a hater, that I'm sure of. I'm sure its got to do with some sort of copyright infringement. Shit gets taken down because of that all the time. What's cool about this is that just means the video really got around, got alot of views and the wrong person just happened to see it or was notified about it by one of those thousands of people.

It's a 50/50 shot as to why, but more than likely, someone flagged it as inappropriate. If anything, contest it and mention that you have Travis' graces for the audio, and if they find that the video is too offensive, put an age restriction notice on it.

I think its more about the usage of the copyrighted video material. I'd be willing to bet on it.

You might be right I don't recall what the footage was. I'd cite fair use, not like it's for profit so much as it is for creative re-interpretation. Well, worst case scenario, take the video footage and flip it vertically so it's reversed, then re-upload it. Makes it harder for them to match imprints up and flag it for removal automatically.

Man this fucking blows! I had a video on my account that my brother had made of a collage of videos and photos about animal cruelty & liberation with the song "This Is The A.L.F." by a punk band named Conflict, and it was up for 3 years with more than 110,000 views and they just recently decided to take it off for the same reasons. Fucking hell!

[Caninus Crew]

Man, that fucking sucks because your video actually meant something, it had a message. Mine was just meant to be a laugh and show some good gore. I'm thinking of moving to Vimeo.

This is a good idea. It gets less exposure, but it's a better flash player, not to mention the other major benefit of having less exposure, less stupid posts by YTards.

It's back!

Can't we just live in a world without censorship?

Because it's not about censorship so much as it is about money.

Sadly its probably true. I just don't see the need even with money on the line. IT would be one thing if you tied someone up, taped open their eyes and forced them to watch it. I would imagine this isn't the case for most people watching youtube though. Its sad that people like google and the fcc have to sensor everything and pathetic that people can't just shut off things they don't like or don't anticipate liking seeing or hearing.
