Devin Townsend Receives Copyright Warnings From YouTube After Posting His Own Videos

Photo Credit: Erich Saide Odd news: YouTube have apparently realized that they host copy-written material! As the world’s largest video hosting and sharing service, YouTube hosts an endless amount of content uploaded by people who have no legal right to do so. YouTube is now ruling with an iron fist against hosting such content, starting with the music of Devin Townshend . Unfortunately, the only issue is that YouTube has been pulling down videos that Townsend himself had posted legally. According to Tweets sent out by Townsend, some of his videos have been mysteriously vanished from his YouTube account. Along with the videos being taken down, YouTube sent Townsend copyright infringement warnings about posting his own music. Townsend comically tweeted: HA! Got a copyright infringement warning from YouTube for posting my own shit…AWESOME!!!!Suck it!=] — Devin Townsend (@dvntownsend) September 18, 2012 Youtube is pulling lots of my own stuff for illegal content.
