Youtube Copyright Infringement Notice
So I got my first Copyright Infringement notice from Youtube today (and I hope its my last). I was always curious to know what they did when this happened and now I unfortunately know. Here are the emails that were sent to me, the back story is that I uploaded a clip from The Office, which was getting lots of views (300 in a matter of a few hours).
