"Official" Mark By my Video that has Been Copied

[Munchito696]

What does this Official mark mean? I've tried searching for other videos of mine and one other one has Official by it. Does this mean Youtube knows people have copied the video or something? The Dalmatian video is actually a second video of the same thing I shot a couple minutes later and posted to a different site, so they are technically not copying my Youtube video. I've just never noticed the Official thing.

I think you're right. Google tells me that it's the original video of something, meaning that somewhere, either on YT or elsewhere, there are duplicates.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about my video

I'm guessing that since your network filed the copyright complaint about it, they (YT) labelled yours as the official one so that any others will easily be flagged as copies if reported by you. The upload date being the earliest plays a big part I think. Whatever you do, don't delete and re-upload it again

Well the copied videos are not the video I uploaded to Youtube, that is a second video I took of the same thing and uploaded elsewhere. So somebody got that video from somewhere else and now uploaded to their Youtube channel. I noticed that all these people are doing is taking videos from online and uploading them to their channel.
