MY PERSONAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Recently a friend of mine opened See Buy Smile: a place where you can buy many things on line for a very interesting price.

To celebrate this event, I did this animation of a naked man that can buy anything he needs just by using my friend's site.

For the music I wanted a boogie and I have found my perfect piece in the song Woogie Boogie by Bob Dylan, and I posted the video on Youtube.

With my big surprise, in just a few seconds Youtube recognized and named the music, and with even bigger surprise, within less than 24 hours they obscured my video in most of the Countries (they kept it visible just in China and a few oders) because it represented a copyright infringement.

This led me to 2 considerations:

1 - If companies really wanted to fight piracy they could do it very easily.

2 - On Youtube you can watch full films on DVD quality, but aparently Sony (the owner of Bob Dylan's song) thought my 40 seconds animation using a piece of music with no voice and 4 views (2 of them were me) could lead their business to disaster.

For the first time I just realized how nowdays creativity is subject to corporations, and this is bad.
