What The? I made Copyright Infringment on Youtube?

[The Bone Collector]

I found this in the spam inbox of my Hotmail account. I have no PMs on youtube about it, or anything of the sort... so is this for real, or some hobo playing a spam trick on me?

Who is the email from (what email address)? Did you make such a tutorial? Have you noticed any changes to the video page?

[The Bone Collector]

Nothing different in the page... no email address shown (hidden) and yes, I did make a tutorial with that name.

from wikipedia:
"YouTube

UMG continues to target individual users using any video that contains any music they own, regardless of context.[citation needed] Some users have reported that UMG has allowed their YouTube videos containing UMG content to remain on the service, as long as UMG has the right to place advertising on those pages in return."

It could be real, I doubt it's phishing, since they didn't ask you to do anything.

My christ. So I've had the Universal Music Group targetting me for using some music in a video!?!

Youtube these up-tight RIAA/RIAA-alike assholes sucks.

Youtube is just stuck in the middle, they don't do these things by choice

TBC, how long of a clip of the song did you use?
