Marina Amphetamine - The Campaign Palace TV AD for Bonds


January 6th

I put this snippet from ABC’s Mediawatch online 2 years ago, and it was removed by You Tube after a copyright complaint from “The Campaign Palace” a large Australian advertising firm responsible for the Bonds TV Ad. I didn’t think much more about it until I saw that my You Tube account was being threatened with suspension over it.

So I did what 99% of people don’t do… I wrote a counter response to You Tube arguing that in fact ABC’s Mediawatch is the copyright holder (not the Campaign Palace) and that they, and I were using the footage as part of fair use, in this case as criticism.

Again, I forgot about it until I received an email in my mailbox yesterday saying You Tube agreed with me and have re-instated the video! A great day for internet copy-fighters! Enjoy “Marina Amphetamine”.
