Armasight keep nicking my vids.

Post by AnthonyR » 03 Feb 2016, 18:25

Armasight uploaded this today:

This is one of my videos from my YouTube channel and this is at least the 3rd time they have done it, I have never received any form of communication from them.

Now I am not really that bothered, I only do it for a bit of fun, it's not like the vids attract massive numbers of views or anything but I think it would have been polite to ask before just ripping them off.

Should I do anything?

Best thing I can come up with is to ask for a discount or some free stuff, I have tonnes more I could upload if I wanted too, not sure they would be all that interested.

It seems wrong to use another persons videos without permission and I'd certainly not be at all happy if it were me. You could ask them to credit you as the author and provide a link to your channel or you could ask Youtube to take it down or you could request payment, depends on how you feel about it. Unfortunately behaviour like this seems quite common.

Sure Youtube haven't "acquired" the rights to them ? Don't know the terms and conditions but it wouldn't surprise me.

I think that the channel owner still retains the rights but I have never checked so it's really just a guess.

I see that they have also nicked some stills from my vids for the web page for the new 15x Drone as well.

I think a nice Prometheus 640 res spotter would make a suitable recompense..... :)

Don't get your hopes up too much.
