Sharing Sequences: THX Intro

I wrote: "This video is for educational purposes purposes only and features a not-for-profit light show performance. The nature of the copyrighted work that falls under the fair use copyright act is the musical score; all other work shown is my original work. The effect of the use upon the potential market for (or value of) the copyrighted work is such that the original artist benefits from this video as more potential customers that are viewing this video (for training purposes to create their own light shows) are exposed to the audio used and full credit is given to the artist in both the actual performance as well as in the video information box to inform potential customers of the audio used. As such, the four criteria regarding fair trade usage have been met and this video and/or it's soundtrack has therefore been removed in error."

If you do file a counter-notification claim, I'd suggest following my template but suit it towards your needs.

I also have tutorials on how to do what we do posted as well, so my case is bolstered a bit. But the three videos I did not write that statement for were disabled (I only wrote, "This video is for entertainment / non profit purposes only; and since I own the original media it therefore falls under the fair use copyright act.", and right now in fact YouTube is processing my snail mailed DCMA counter notification on those videos, which is basically challenging their decision to remove the videos after the counter notification was denied.

Basically, the bottom line is that copyright holders are trying to intimidate and scare you into doing nothing, which is sad. WMG even removed multimedia from TSO's own website, and TSO owns the copyright! But the law is clearly on our side, and with a little bit of research you can win this fight.
