On 19/7/2011, my popular YouTube video BBC Countdowns Compilation was removed due to a copyright claim by 'United Artists'.

As you can see, the video had been available on YouTube since March 2008, and had even been spotted as containing content from the 'BBC Motion Gallery' but had not been removed, the BBC instead choosing to receive the ad revenue from YouTube.

The composer David Lowe had also been aware of the video, and had been in contact with me to say how much he liked it. He is also a member of the Facebook Fan Page I created for the countdown.

I have no idea who United Artists are, but they have caused the removal of the video from YouTube, and put my account into 'bad standing' because of copyright infringement.
