Re: Help! I want to have old videos of mine removed from other users' channels, but do not want to give them a copyright strike!

No, I created original content using a copyrighted video game as the medium. I understand that I do not fully own the rights to the content, but they are my still my creation and I would like to think I have some power over them. When I glanced at the copyright form, filing a DMCA takedown notice was only optional. There was another section of the form where you could specify that a Youtube video of yours was uploaded elsewhere.

Do I really not have any control over this content? It's embarrassing that people see old, poorly-made videos with 200 views when they search my username!
