The LA Times inter­viewed me last week regard­ing the YouTube take­down of my Star Wars on a Banjo video (see YouTube Is Out To Get Me). The arti­cle is on the web for your perusal here:

Fol­low­ing a link at the bot­tom of that arti­cle, I dis­cov­ered the site of Ben Sheffner, who runs a blog called  Copy­rights & Cam­paigns, and who helped clar­ify the spe­cific aspects of the DMCA laws regard­ing this sit­u­a­tion.  Thanks, Ben.

I remain opti­mistic that YouTube will unblock my video, but it will rely heav­ily upon what level Warner Music Group decides to micro­man­age counterclaims.
