NRL Remove TC Ink Video From YouTube

Yesterday morning we received an e-mail from YouTube entitled “Video Removed: Copyright Infringement‏”. Great, I thought, it could be any of my videos, pretty much all of them rip off channel 9 or Fox coverage.

But rather than ridding the video world of Gus Gould’s voice or entertaining bad kicks they decided to ping me on the serious video backing up the article on the stupid kick into the ref rule.

Why, I thought, did the get that one. After I thought about it, it could have been because of a few reasons. Notably that video had over 5k views and also, I think the main reason, was because it had “NRL” in the title.

There are THAT many clips on YouTube stealing Channel 9 or Fox coverage of footy, some have tonnes of views and have been around for ages. It seems weird that they got rid of ours.

Anyway, perhaps it was because it was making obvious a, well, obvious flaw in the League rule book. We can only hope that when they noticed that video that they took notice, and read the comments supporting the changing of such a stupid rule.

So I’ve been taught a lesson here at least, don’t put NRL in the video name. And everyone can rest easy, the Covell award will have a finale!
