Jim Moore has reposted, on Google Video (heh), the “offending” work that prompted the nastygram from Viacom today. It’s hard to imagine what might have prompted the take-down. As JZ asks in the comments from an earlier post, what can we surmise about the tactic in getting to 100,000 take-downs? Was some bot scanning for keywords in titles, say “Redbones”?

Perhaps we can get to the bottom of it by aggregating other misfires from in this massive take-down push. At TopTenSources (please see my disclosures), here’s a page where you can add a link to your video or enter comment about the take-downs, as well as an e-mail address — youtube.viacom@gmail.com — to which you can send word of your taken-down video. Is Jim’s video the only one that shouldn’t have been flagged? Or are there others out there — possibly with no offending content, or possibly where a fair use defense might apply?
