You can still do what Brad did – send a counter notice that it is fair use – e.g. by using Brad’s notice as a template and sending off a quick email. You’re too scared? I’ve sent off takedown notices and counter-notices; IANAL.

As a followup to the bogus takedown of your video from Youtube, I now have a video of Hitler as the producer trying to do DMCA takedowns.

Indeed, even Hitler is getting a little fed up with all these Downfall parodies.

Too bad you caved in to the takedown on Youtube. You have a right to send a counter notice that it is fair use, and youtube will put it back up, but then you take responsibility.

Now the status of the other videos might be subject to debate, because they are not parodying Downfall, but rather some other situation using Downfall as a tool. Or at least the studio could argue that — there are good arguments that the parody only works because of the over-the-top anger of the scene.

But yours is in a place by itself. You are parodying the phenomenon the use of the film, and so you can’t help but use the film. It’s a clear fair use in my view, and I think you could have stood by it if you wanted to.

Good work, I didn’t realize it was you that started the meme. I actually started a website for these videos in case you want to see some of the other ones people made http://hitlerme.me .

(It’s not finished yet but it’s getting there.)

Cheers, Dave.
