YouTube...sometimes you are annoying.

Yey! My first review shall be of the famous site called YouTube. Or as we joke in PR calling it "tu tubo". *sigh* Where should we start? I found about this site like in early 2006. It said that I needed to create an account to see the videos. So, I did. Who wouldn't? Free site to see videos? Awesome. But it was a lie. Nop, it was a half lie. If you want to comment or upload, you need to have an account. There are videos that you can see without having an account but there are others which you need to prove you are 18 or older to watch. Which is stupid because one, any kid can make a fake account with a fake email to see the video and two, youtube does not have any porn in there. For that, you go to redtube or porntube. And still there, they could still make a fake account to see the whole thing. Unless parents are actually watching their kids of what are they doing. Yes, youtube does permit ladies dancing in underwear to be something not pornographic which let's face it. It is not because she is not naked but yeah, youtube forgets of the nasty little perverts out there who would just "Jizz in their pants" of just watching a girl or boy smiling.

Anyway,  so I made my account, watched videos, comment in some, etc. After a while, I decided to upload videos. My first videos were of anime music videos, where I took scenes of animes I was watching at that time and created a music video. Which they looked awesome! Yeah. You know that you hear a song from an artist and you link it in your head to an anime, movie, TV Show, etc. It was nice making them. Then, I uploaded cosplay pictures with music. Normal thing. Everybody has done it. Pictures of family trips, pets, friends, etc. Then, slowly uploaded videos of my friends, hanging with them, doing pranks, etc., then of my work and etc, etc. You know what is youtube for. They TELL you that it is a good site to promote yourself and so people can see your videos, comment, share. Sure. it all sounds nice, isn't it?

But then, YouTube changed. They decided to attack people. Oh, yes! ATTACK! No offense but, how come Juan can upload a video of Nightwish which has obviously copyright of the band but jessica can't upload a video of her family picnic because there is a small cellphone in the video with a lady gaga ringtone and for that, makes the WHOLE VIDEO have copyright for Lady Gaga's music?Can you seriously think this is fair?


There are very few valid reasons for disputing a claim. Please review the information below, because submitting an invalid dispute could result in penalties against your account.

Invalid reasons to dispute a claim

  • I own the CD / DVD or bought the song online.
    Buying a song, CD, DVD, or other piece of media doesn't give you authorization to post that content on YouTube. The content owner still has the right to choose where it is distributed.
  • The content was only a part of my video.
    In almost all cases, you need written permission from the content owner to use even part of their work in your video. Learn more about Copyright.
  • There are other videos on YouTube with the same content. Why can't I use it too?
    Copyright is all about the owner's right to decide who can use their content. Someone else's use doesn't give you permission.
  • I gave credit in the description. Isn't that enough?
    No. Giving credit does not give you authorization to upload the content.
  • I'm not selling my video or trying to make money.
    Whether or not you benefit financially from using the content doesn't matter. Unless you have permission from the owner, it's not yours to use.

I still need more information. Take me to the YouTube Copyright Help Center.

Valid reasons to dispute a claim

  • The content was misidentified.
    Your original content was misidentified; for example, your family picnic was mistakenly identified as a scene from The Godfather. Mistakes of this type are very rare but possible.
  • You have the right to use the content online.
    You have written permission from the content owner to use the material on YouTube.
  • Fair Use / Fair Dealing
    If you believe your use meets the legal requirements for exemption from copyright under appropriate law, you can dispute the claim. If you are unsure, you should seek legal counsel before submitting a dispute.

I have a valid reason to dispute this claim. Take me to the dispute form.













Funny. I laugh at the Invalid reasons. Imagine if I hit spam or copyright button to all those videos which it is basically, all in youtube. Like 75%. Hm. The valid reasons. I laugh at them too. So,


The content was misidentified.
Your original content was misidentified; for example, your family picnic was mistakenly identified as a scene from The Godfather. Mistakes of this type are very rare but possible.
but since in the picnic, it has a friend singing Cher with a radio, oh, applies to this:
The content was only a part of my video.
In almost all cases, you need written permission from the content owner to use even part of their work in your video. Learn more about Copyright.

And yes, you have written permission. of course. We are all rich to be able to do that. 

And what's with the blocking videos because where I'm from? Now the government has to decide what I watch and not watch?

What happen to the sharing thing that people will see your videos, your creations? I understand the ones that are stealing but the ones that posted original stuff, why are we being banned? Too much to handle?


P.S. Youtube...you are annoying but meh, at least you haven't banned some particular channels I see. But still, respect the other ones!
