As most of you know, 2 weeks ago the music video for my song "American Idol" was taken down by Youtube by Fremantle International.
They took us down because we used clips from the TV show (many of them the same exact clips that hundred of other similar parodies on youtube are using too).
We re-shot the video and removed all their media.
We uploaded the new video and Youtube took it down almost immediately.
This was due to an automatic process that Youtube uses so we went through youtube's dispute process, and youtube put the video back up.
This was yesterday.
This morning youtube took the new video down and they SUSPENDED my youutbe channel all at the request of Fremantle media.
Yep, all the hard work that I put into my youtube channel is gone.
I have used none of their media in this new video. It is straight out parody.
Their objection to my video has nothing to do with copyright infringement. It had to do with the fact that I dared to speak critically about their show.
