MyHeavy.com Disregarding Vlogger CC Licenses   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #54322 of 76586 |
Dear all,

We found out today that MyHeavy.com has been re-posting our videos
with a huge pre-roll banner ad and a second huge ad surrounding the
video when it plays (all without our permission or knowledge). I
suggest you all check out the web site, see if they're doing the same
to your videos and notify them by e-mail if they are also breaching
your CC license (http://www.myheavy.com/contact.php).

Best regards,
Casey
