Some spammers thought it'd be cute to report all videos that they'd commented on as copyright infringement. How do I know it was them? They left 5 of my 12 (at that time) AMVs that they hadn't commented on alone, some of the remaining videos had similar content of those removed. So I submitted a rebuttal, citing Larry Lessig's "Fair Use" speech for TED and got a response to send a rebuttal to the same address that I used. I sent a similar e-mail to their manager and a week later got a response to the effect of "We'll look into it." A month later, no change, videos still flagged. Sent another e-mail to the manager, again, a week later "We'll look into it." So I removed the remaining videos, canceled my profile there, but now I'm still getting messages about comments left on that profile. It's a shame really, I enjoyed the quality of Voeh's regular service, just pissed that they take accusations of copyright infringement at face value, regardless of source, and offer the content provider no recourse against false claims.
