Lol just when you thought it couldn't get worse. They even smuggled commercials in my Youtube gaming vids. :loll:
But can you watch episodes on Syfy that have not been aired yet?

You can opt out of the advertisements on your Youtube vids.

Some music company agent filed a DCMA take-down notice with Google for the music in a video I shot once. It happened to be royalty-free music I purchased from Smartsound, not the music company's music, though it was for private use, not a commercial license. While my video was non-commercial I went ahead and opted out of Google's advertizing (didn't even know it was there) just in case that was the problem, then sent them a link to my music on Smartsound. The take-down notice was withdrawn.

I know about the advertizement option, lol.

It seems that some overachievers at Sony etc. make a lot of claims just to justify their existence.
The added link with a place to buy the music is a cool thing IMO. I found some music that way i didn't know of. Bought some as well.

I can not watch Webisodes over here BTW. It is all region restricted. Even if most shows do Air here shortly after the US (with ugly subs).

Ha, I knew about the ad option too, just didn't realize they had automatically applied them to my older videos. (Hey! Where's my revenue check?) :loll:

Yeah I've always been careful not to upload videos with copyrighted music. My favorite one of the bunch was set to a George Strait song, so had to settle for just including it on the dvd given out to friends. Smartsound has some pretty cool tunes. You would be surprised how many TV shows use their music... the commercial versions of course. ;) Always fun to hear some show picked the same tune you had.
