This is the complete content of an email I received today.

1. The content of the actual video (see below) is original, flimed and edited by me, except;
2. The background music (Bachman Turner Overdrive, "Blown") is credited at the end of the video

This is the SECOND 'warning' I've received from YouTube regarding the content of videos I have posted. The first was similar, with credit for a Little Richard song.

Note that I bought the CD from which I untimely ripped the music for my private usage. Apparently, this usage was insufficiently 'private'.

Henceforth I will not credit dubbed music using the "Credits at the end of the video" option of Windows Movie Maker. If you are creating videos for public posting, I encourage you also to eschew such an attempt to give credit to the original musical artist.

The Music Nazi's are among us. Run!

"For the love of God, Montresor!"
