Somebody in some office somewhere gets a pat on the back. What have they achieved? Not very much.

What revenue was lost? (After all, that's all a court can award for copyright infringement, and is surely the purpose of such a maneuver?) None.

Sad sign of the times.

The main issue was the name 'Sky Idents' . This is more a trademark than a copyright dispute. All the Sky pages have now been removed as a precautionary measure and will not return until the dispute is resolved.

It's clear the videos are a secondary issue, or may not actually be that much of an issue at all. If it were, surely a DMCA notice or similar would be the route they would have taken, no?


I believe if the site was not named Sky Idents there would not have been a problem, after all there are hundreds of clips of Sky presentation on You Tube at the moment which don't have any issues. The combination of Sky presentation clips on a website called Sky Idents stuck out to Sky's Content Protection department. I will PM both of you with more details.

Thinking of removing all YouTube videos off the site and replacing them with self hosted videos using the flow player coding. Any thoughts?

The Ident Gallery is hosted for just £28 a year with OVH. You can hardly lose.

That's money well spent knowing YouTube can wipe a bunch of videos at the touch of a button. Do you mind me asking if you use a premium version of Flow Player?

I use an old paid-for version of Longtail Player, but won't be updating as they've recently changed the payment to a way-too-expensive yearly model.

Wow, $99 if you don't want watermarks, that is expensive.

I was looking at the HTML5 options for the new JW Player player here. Nearly fell over when I saw their pricing model, yearly subscriptions?! No thanks. There was a big outcry in their forums about how they could possibly justify the price jump - I paid a one off €35 at the start of 2012!

This is the thing I wanted too many years ago run my own tv idents site but this is what I was worried about copyright infringement.

1 - that's not relevant, Sky had a trademark issue here, not a copyright one
2 - why are you fussed? the rights holder can only sue for loss of earnings - essentially impossible to prove in this case.

Animal Planet have now blocked DVD recordings of their channels. Can anyone recommend another capture device that works well with Sky other than a DVD recorder.

So why are the YOUTUBE taking the videos down? if its losses earnings then why not give said companies the ad music or get rid of the ads?

Just to be clear I have never added adverts to any of the YouTube videos.
