So I had some videos pulled from YouTube earlier today.

Basically, earlier in the year I uploaded a dodgy home video of Brighton’s ‘Escalade’ performance for last year’s Rock Eisteddfod, and a direct rip of Streaky’s ‘Looking Forward’ performance from the DVD that was supplied to the school.
So wait - ‘Rock Eisteddfod Challenge® and J Rock™’ own the footage that I filmed? They own Brighton’s performance? It’s just… silly. Sure - I’d expected the DVD rip to be pulled, but not my own filming.
Meh, but I’m too lazy to send in a counter notice, so things can just stay as is, at least for now.
Oh, and we’re still waiting on the damned satellite installer - now the say they’re waiting for a 1.2m dish. It shouldnt take 5 weeks for a damn dish anyway. >.> Hopefully I wont have to wait much longer though!
