The greatest part about this is that the only "copyrighted material" that was Yngwie's in this video was the 10 second audio clip of Magic and Mayhem, which is actually just a harmonic minor scale that he probably stole from Paganini. Real cool Yngwie. I hope that because you took down my video, you will make enough money to significantly affect your life (or at least buy some leather pants).


Got pastries?

I have an idea on how you can still post those videos.
Try www.porkolt.com
Its a low-key version of Youtube, and you should still be able to get away with putting those up.
They are bloody brilliant by the way, and keep it up!
