I used the song in my video and gave full credit for it - surely that's fine? Even if it is breaking copyright laws, it seems like they've done it just to piss me off rather than for any other reason. It's not as though I didn't give them full credit or am using their song for profit. I find it very frustrating that my videos always seem to get removed when there are so many more on the website which are much more 'serious' in terms of copyright infringement. If they can remove a video that's used a song and given credit for it, then surely they can remove a significant amount of videos from YouTube?Dear CoDJumper,

I've now had to have to choose an 'alternative track' from their list which won't go with the movie at all. Great.
I think I'll host a smaller version of the CoDJumper.com Movie on the main site available to stream as a semi moral victory.
