Somebody stole my "viral" video but I want to make claim, not remove

How can I make a claim like the TV studios and music people make where the video stays up but money goes to content owner?
 
What viral video did they steal? Like I don't get how someone can steal a VIRAL video. Because like by definition it's something totally random that only they've done right? I'm just confused.

well yeah but the thing is like the video would ALREADY be viral by that point so like it's still THIS person's viral video. Like I've never heard of something going viral being reuploaded to a different place and then becoming MORE viral.
 
I never said it was more viral. The point is the person is making money of my video and that needs to stop. It's too late to get a lot of views but he got 6000 views already.

What James meant is that, if a video becames viral, it's your video! The view is still there, if someone downloaded your video and also uploaded it to youtube, there's no way that that re-uploaded video can become viral too unless the original one wasn't.[DOUBLEPOST=1412732851,1412732786][/DOUBLEPOST]You can always report their video though and claim it as your own.

Thanks for the backup boo. Glad to know someone understood what I was trying to say :pPPPPP
 
You are wrong. If I have a video of President Obama punching a guy, anybody can download it and get tons of views. It's the video that is viral, not my displaying it. Anywhere you post it on youtube it can go viral. I once had a viral video lost millions of views due to people stealing it. I'm not sure what the confusion is. Even if you don't get that, surely you understand that those 6000 views the guy got he is getting paid on for a stolen video. He is stealing money from me. I think that should be clear.

I don't know what you don't understand.

Clearly enough, if you upload a video of Obama punching a guy and you earned 6million views for $600 and someone downloaded it and re-uploaded it and earn 6k views for $60, I don't think that's even stealing because you're earning money from your video and he's earning his different money from his video. It's not like he's going to earn $600 or more from just 6k views unlike you with 6million views.

A viral video is a single video like Psy- Gentleman, other's downloaded it and re-uploaded it but that isn't viral as the original one.
 
Wow, I can't believe we are still talking about this even after I clearly stated that even I lost millions of views this way. If you upload that video of Obama right now and it's get's 200k by morning, then I steal it and post it and my video gets posted on cnn.com and rises to 600k while yours creeps up beyond 200k. Then some other sites posts the more popular copy pushing it to 1 million while you are at 300k. You have just lost $600.

Even in your example, you talk about $60. Do you know what viral means? That video could keep getting views until you make hundreds. The point of viral is it spreads like wildfire. Not to mention you are talking about 1 person. Usually there are multiple. 100k here, 200k there...before you know it you have lost thousands of dollars.

Finally what does this have to do with my question. Viral or not viral, my question was how to make a claim on a video that somebody steals from you.

And what on earth do you mean he is earning different money from HIS video? It's YOU video! If you download the Matrix and post it online and monitize it, it's not your video. It belongs to the copyright holder and you are stealing from them.
