Blue Cheese – finally!

I did this little thing early this year and gave a version of it (with real names) to E’s soccer team. I messed around with getting a version up on YouTube  – they bounced the audio because of copyright stuff. I just left things ass is but in my travels I discovered that Google pretty much has a blanket policy against any music that is not created by a YouTube member and that pulling for copyright happens to almost any soundtrack being put up for any reason.

Of course fair use is fair use and it’s being pointed out in the YouTube community that non commercial usage of tracks happens all of the time, heck people have been putting up their entire CD collections for years. Somehow I can’t believe using using an old Dire Straights song as background to my son’s soccer team’s video (which I did because I wanted to) is violating copyright.

So I finally got around to disputing their bounce and you know what?
