[MrGovan]

Ain't that dude some kinda political ninja, who lives in a cave? You better take it down breh...for ya safety.

 

[smokeurobinson]

Thats what happens when you "steal" peoples material. U should respect the gesture of them asking u to take it down before it was removed by youtube. You lucky you got the email. Had it been Prince...u wouldnt have even gotten an email....U woulda attempted to log on only to noticed your Youtube account no longer exists.

That's youtube's job, not mine. I didn't upload this and it has nothing to do with my account. How am I stealing for using youtube the way it was intended?

I'm guessing it's on someone else's youtube and he's not getting paid from it. IDK that's between him and google/youtube. Nothing to do with me.

don't even say get lost man! just ask why you can't use a Youtube video when Youtube gave you permission to post it elsewhere in their terms and agreements. If this prick wants to be legal then keep posting the Youtube terms and conditions and all that. They have to deal with youtube on this.

For all you know, the guy who posted the video owns the video and Immortal doesn't.
