This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim.

Stop removing videos from YouTube!

Target:
WMG and all other companies claiming copyrights on YouTube videos.
This petition is made for the purpose of stopping WMG and those other companies from removing much-loved videos from YouTube, especially because clips from music is included somewhere in the video.

Wouldn't having a small clip HELP the music industry? Example:

Someone has a clip of some music on their video. Comment on the video:

'Hey, that's an awesome song at 1:24. What's the name of it? I gotta get that on iTunes. Thanks!'

Wow, lookie there. Do you notice that these people want to know the name of the song, and BUY IT? It's free advertising, and it works. I know because I ask that very question all the time. My iTunes library has at least 20 songs that I found from youtube videos, especially anime tributes. And no, I didn't find some site that takes the music off of the video to get the song-- I paid real money for those songs. (The english ones-- Japanese songs arent on iTunes.)


Comments on NigaHiga's video, aptly named 'Copyrighted':(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCTAqdDfL58)

the main population of the world has over 400 billon CD's%uFEFF in total, if we didn't buy them about 87% of bands wouldn't survive also if everyone didn't go to concerts, so they can go stick their copyright where the sun doesn't shine!!!!

That's just some of the opinions of avid viewers, and only the ones from NigaHiga's video.

And lets try to get it so we can have full music withot being filtered out, too. :)

We the undersigned would like to request that you refrain from deleting YouTube videos. YouTube was meant, and is still trying to be, a place where people could have fun watching videos. To have a laugh, catch up on the news, watch a podcast, or anything else.

Due to your consistent deletion of videos -- 'This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim', many people are becoming unsettled. 'Will my video be next?' 'I can't believe they deleted that video...' 'WHY, WMG, WHY??'

We only ask that you consider the prospect of free advertising. As it is, most people only use part of a song. Many people, in result, ask for the name of the song so they can download it on iTunes.

Please consider what we ask, and that you for taking the time to read this letter.
