Just received this email from the ‘YouTube Content Identification Team’ to inform me that my final year Diploma video piece from Swinburne ‘exp.05′ has been pulled due to copyright infringement. The piece was set to a track by Nine Inch Nails from the album The Fragile. Ironically, NIN are these days calling on artists to use their free music to create free tunes for upload to YouTube!
No Matter! Check it out on Vimeo!
The email:
