You Tube censors Climate Camp Video of Cops getting the Shove

WoT4 | 07.09.2007 11:10 | Climate Camp 2007 | Indymedia | London

Climate film of the police being ejected from the camp is (possibly) censored by You tube.
Or perhaps the people who filmed it are claiming copyright, it would be good to know one way or another.

I put up the film of the cops getting peacefully ejected from the Heathrow Climate camp on my WoT4 under the title Climate Camp Cops Shove off, other people also published it on You Tube.
I found the video on IMC UK having been published there I couldn't imagine that anyone would
possibly be claiming Copyright.
So I was very surprised when You Tube pulled th plug on it and informed me that some one had claimed the copyright for this film. Strikes me as a bit sus could it be that perhaps plod is claiming this for "Old Bill productions" due to the fact he is extremely embarrassed by the footage ?
Or is there some activist dude out there who wants his copyright ?
Some other called Tonypandafizz (or similar) had published the video on his page, it's also
had the same treatment. I intend to do a bit of work on it and bosch it straight back up there again. Unless the real "owner" of the film makes it clear that he or she doesn't want it plastered all over the net I'll accept that. If it is an old bill Ruse i hope that hundreds of people will stick it on Youtube and similar sites .. W4

The footage was removed from YouTube because they were requested to do so in DMCA complaint. This was done for a number of reasons which I shall not go into but the video is available here on indymedia (

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/08/378267.html) and if you insist on having a youtube copy, a new copy was uploaded as soon as they took down the previous copies (
