Ramblings of Reuben

Today I got a copyright notice on one of my Youtube video’s.

I made a video for my sisters wedding, the music on the video is from U2 and UGM holds the copyright for that song evidently. So now they are going to put ads on the video page when people watch it.

I hate ads. So i’ll pull off the vieo but here is the letter.
