I have been falsely accused of copyright infringement on the website youtube
The video in question was for a contest of which I was winning at the time of accusation. I filled out the counter paperwork saying that it was my material and now the contest is over and of course I have lost due to the fact that the video is still offline.
The contest was for a computer that I put together with much consideration online worth $1500.00. The video took me about a month of planning, recording and editing. Not only has the time and money been taken away from me but also in place of my video there has been a notification for all to see saying that my video has been removed do to copyright infringement, making me feel like a criminal when I had done nothing wrong.
Link to video in question is below:
(Cannot link since I am a new member... sorry)
I have the legal form he filed with youtube
Below is some of the information:
"Title of copyrighted work being performed: My entire video has
been stolen off my computer by my friend and he wont take it down.
oType of copyrighted work: Stolen and used for himself.
Country where copyright applies: CA
I, in good faith state that:
* I am the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner
of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
* I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the
manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent,
or the law; and
* This notification is accurate.
* I acknowledge that there may be adverse legal consequences for
making false or bad faith allegations of copyright infringement by using
this process.
* I understand that abuse of this tool will result in termination of
my YouTube account.
Authorized Signature: (Name withheld due to privacy but I have it in my possession)"
The video in question is none of his work, it is my voice talking about a computer build... The music being used is even public domain pre-1930s...
Is there any legal action that can be taken?
I appreciate your time in advance,
