I saw an interesting article on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s site and decided to contact them. They go into the January purge of Warner content from YouTube and its destruction of fair use.

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.
