I've yet to hear anything about the music industry going after vidders. Totally possible that they have and I just haven't heard about it, but if they have, mind enlightening me? (Aside from AMV.org. That only happened because a fan wrote to the record label about it, thinking the vids were made by the bands. If you bring a copyright violation to the attention of a record label they have to take action.) They'd be well within their rights to go after vidders, of course, and this is all good safe advice in general, I'm just wondering if something happened to spawn this concern.

And I don't really get why we as vidders should be concerned about YouTube on this issue. I mean generally they turn a blind eye but if they're properly notified of a copyright violation on their site they have to take it down. So what are we worried about them doing with our copyright-violating vids?
