I just wanted to share this notification from my Mediafire account.

________

^is there any way that you can claim copyright infingment on Mediafire but not have anything to do with it like that Uzi Suicidal guy on youtube?

I don't see why a person would want to copyright a 40 second clip of a supposed leak of a GN'R song just for shits and giggles.

Not neccesarily actually copyrighting it but at least making it seem like you have. I mean like I said the Uzi Suicidal person is assumed to not be legit but yet he gets a lot of stuff taken down on youtube. Why they would do it is beyond me though

Being honest, I couldn't care less. I just wanted to share the message since it had some "Axl Rose" and "Guns N' Roses" words on it. I haven't even read it lol.

To those guys at copyright infringement: COME AT ME BRO.

Do you know in which state the LLC is registered? I have searched through a few states but found nothing so I have a growing suspicion Uzisuicidal is just a crazy fan who thinks he/she acts on behalf of the band and are exploiting bad complaint procedures at Youtube to do it. From Youtube's perspective it is much safer to remove a few videos extra than a few videos too few, and if their decisions are challenged then it is easy for them to retrieve the videos and make them available again.

Yesterday I got similar emails of copyright claims from Soundcloud too. It didn't say WHO claimed, though. The first one only said that:

Hi Bruno Do Amaral,

Our automatic content protection system has detected that your upload "Bloodinthewater MOD" may contain content that is copyrighted.

As a result, we have paused the upload of your audio for the time being.

If you are the original creator of the audio in all its parts, or have obtained all necessary licenses and permissions to upload and share this content, please contact us using the form below.

Maybe after the first claim to p2loc, the sound was logged into the automatic system. All I had was a version without the vocals and without the instrumental merged.
