    Default Youtube Copyright Infringement

    A video I took from a football game was removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim. Here's the message I received:

    "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by XOS Technologies, Inc. d/b/a XOS Digital."

    What's weird is, it wasn't broadcast material or anything taken from ABC/ESPN. It was simply footage I shot from inside the stadium with my digital camera. It's basically like a home movie. How can that be copyright infringement?

    Some schools license their games to outside video companies.

    http://xosdigital.com/

    Mysteriously, they provide these services for professional and collegiate teams.

    You're talking about footage you took of an empty stadium, or footage you took of a game? When you buy tickets to concerts and sports events, you generally agree not to bring video recorders into the venue and/or to make video recordings.

    It's likely that the football team has contracted with XOS Digital to manage its IP rights. Without knowing the details, beyond making that inference from what you've told us, it's not something we can investigate for you.

    If you shot the video yourself, you can file a DMCA counterclaim to have it put back up. Look through Youtube's copyright policies, it should be in there somewhere. I don't Google other people's stuff after midnight.

    If it's a videotape of a game, with the college having licensed the broadcast rights, even if the game was not televised that's not going to work. He would own his own videotape, but he would have no right to broadcast or share it.
