Super no more

Some of you might remember my Superman roller coaster video from Six Flags.  I got this email about the video today:

Dear tochivideo,

Your video, Superman: Ride of Steel @ Six Flags, may have content that is owned or licensed by WMG.

No action is required on your part; however, if you are interested in learning how this affects your video, please visit the Content ID Matches section of your account for more information.

Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team

:( WMG complained about my use of Superman Theme song as background music.  This was my most popular video with 12,888 views, and was the subject of some funny comments (a lot of bashing between Wonderland and Darien Lake). 

I didn’t particularly like the tone of YouTube’s copyright dispute notices:

There are very few valid reasons for disputing a claim. Submitting an invalid dispute can result in penalties against your account.

Ironically, I can still watch the embedded video from my earlier post.  It was a fun run while it lasted.

    Nooooooo!! That was classic! Can you replace it with a remix?

    There is this audio-swap thingy on youtube... but it's just not the same. :(
