please help with this>>>>>>>

[magpii]

youtube are threatening to take down a video i uploaded because i cannot provide the licence that shows that I can make money from the music and video I produce using both lmms and stopmotion. both pieces of software used have gpl licences but youtube are asking for the specific part of the licence that states I can make money off my video through their monitization option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Both the music as well as the stop motion animation were created by me and me alone. I posted this request in another forum but this one seams to have had the most recent activity so I hope you don't mind too much me posting the same topic here too. A link to the video is here>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZRK9u_FjB0 its crap I know, I was just messing around with the software to test my creative side.heres a copy of the most recent email from youtube, hope it helps>>>>>>>>>

Hi Peter,

Your contract does not appear to give sufficient COMMERCIAL rights for your video to participate in monetization from http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/License and http://swik.net/stopmotion or Ubuntu Studio.

YouTube is not in a position to offer legal advice or to counsel you in any way. However, we have listed some elements below which we have seen in contracts to give you a sense of the types of documents we receive.

-explicit permission to use the rights holder’s content commercially (example: “I, rights holder’s name, give your name or channel’s name, the right to use my original content commercially.”)
-contact information for rights holder
-electronic signature with date (this can be as simple as the rights holder writing out full name at the bottom of the document)

Please be sure to pay attention to any limitations and/or conditions specified by the rights holder concerning your use of the content.

Once you have the appropriate contract, please email it to us as an attachment.

Sander

wow, if this is the case then if my videos get reviewed they will all have to be taken down, along with half of youtubes.
are you sure you maybe just didn't tick the wrong boxes concerning the monetisation options, ( you can check this in your youtube account ).
, or that you correctly stated that you were the producer of the original works. perhaps also try un-monetising the said video and restart over again.
im unsure really as this has never happened to me yet.
this maybe nothing but i noticed a curse word in your video, maybe this has something todo with it, but more than likely they would contact you about this,
as i dont use curse words in my vids i don't know if this is allowed, im guessing it is allowed tho , free speech and all that

I cannot view the monitarization aspect due to it not being monitorized yet. They sent me an email first telling me they would not monitorize it till i provided the relevent gpl licence. i will post the email below, they are threatening to take it down because I havnt provided the licence. I am not sure what to do or what licence to shove down their poxy necks. Youtube is based on gpl software. A friend of mine said it may be due to my video being about the Illuminati lol. although the video has illuminati references in it, the content as well as the music and the video editin g is all mine, done by me and remains my property. here are all the emails I saved..........................

Hi Peter,

Please provide me with a link to the video in question so that I can look
it up and help you.
