Unfortunately, I had to remove this topic. While some of you might have been able to legitimately use this information, it could have too easily been abused to illegally post copyrighted material on YouTube. While the intention was to show people how to quickly bypass YouTube's copyright filters for "fair use" purposes, its potential for abuse was too great. I have dealt with copyright issues in the past and I can tell you that the "fair use" provision is very narrowly defined by the courts. As the site owner I am not willing to host this information on DMdrummer.com.

If you want more information, here's YouTube's page on using some copyrighted content.

And the U.S. Copyright Office's page on Fair Use.
