What if the content is blocked globally?
There will be times when content that you upload to Youtube will be blocked globally. This means that the video can not be viewed by anyone except for the uploader. This completely depends on the copyright holder, and whether or not they will allow any of their content to be used on Youtube. I have faced this issue before. There are a few options that can be used to combat the situation. The first would be to dispute the claim made against the uploaded video. As stated in one of the previous blog posts, this option is risky and has no guarantee of working. This is only if you are certain that the video isn't infringing the copyright. The second option is to simply upload the video to a different website. This is ill advised. While another website may keep the video up, it is likely because they do not actively check for copyright infringement. I will post an example of this scenario.

So here is some information about the video. The visual content is of an anime series called Kimi ni Todoke. This series is owned by the production company Nippon Television (NTV). The music in the video is part of the Kimi ni Todoke soundtrack. All other audio was created by myself and a friend of mine. I first tried uploading this video to Youtube, where it was immediately blocked in all countries. I could have disputed the claim, however the chances of the video being rectified were very slim. I decided to upload the video to a different video streaming website called Vimeo. Upon uploading the video to that website, it was not removed at all. The reason I was personally so adamant about posting the video somewhere was to show some friends, however the reasons are rarely important if copyright infringement is involved. Again, this option isn't advised, as it is somewhat sketchy.
