Fremantle Media Threatens Legal Action Against Me



Uploaded by: Neighboursfan1986
Video Description:
FremantleMedia have sent me a message tonight threatenting legal action against me unless I stop uploading Neighbours episodes. As Youtube will not let me post the message I have made it into a video. Please Read and Comment.
Here is a copy of the message:
Dear Neighboursfan1986,
It has been brought to our attention that you have been uploading full episodes of "Neighbours" to your You Tube channel. I should like to remind you that all copyright and trademarks in the series belong to FremantleMedia Australia Pty Limited (Australia and New Zealand) and FremantleMedia Operations B.V (Rest of World) All Rights Reserved. We also note that you are using one of our copyrighted images as a background picture for your profile.
According to our records, we have not issued you with a licence to upload episodes in this fashion. Therefore your actions are illegal and breach our copyright. I would politely suggest that you immediately cease and desist uploading episodes and remove all episodes you currently have on your channel. If, after seven days, you still upload episodes or have not removed those from your channel, we shall have no alternative but to place this matter in the care of our Business and Legal Affairs team.
Yours truely,
Brand Protection Manager

It's up to you. ... ( 4 months ago by aussieinseattle)
It's up to you. What am I going to do with no Neighbours for 3 years in USA?
Most people watch ... ( 4 months ago by memily01)
Most people watch because they are fed up of being behind. Channel five show neighbours like 5 times a day, the neighbour's website show the episodes to AU viewers only. That warning was real because neighbours are planning to be shown on facebook due to the popularity of the YouTube episodes you uploaded. Now as if they will be AUS pace for the UK viewers.
But thank you for uploading, I'm just a little fed up of how neighbours don't understand there target audience
I thought the same ... ( 4 months ago by caedoodle)
I thought the same thing. They used "should" instead of "would" too. Not mistakes a company like fremantle would make in an official email. They don't usually send emails either, they usually complain to youtube and youtube cancels or suspends the account.
this message is ... ( 4 months ago by germansoapjunkie)
this message is definitely a hoax..but yeah its been said it IS illegal( as much as we love the epis) i would suggest deleting older episodes after a week or so because i dint think they will take legal action for say 7 episodes..but maybe they would for hundreds..its a shame about comments etc but better than a lawsuit.
If uploading is ... ( 4 months ago by HS0306)
If uploading is illegal, why do they make it possible to up load things. Same as recording a film on to dvd- why make blank dvd if its' against copyright. it doesn't make sense.

:O Rose's theme! Cryage!!!!
Anyway...
Surely there'd be a "if you have any questions in regards to this letter please do not hesitate to contact me on bla bla bla"
But I think you should delete the episodes...just in case :)
Thanks for every episode you've put up anyway :)
But has anyone else uploading neighbours episodes had a warning?
thats just **** its ... ( 4 months ago by kpnuts1lanka)
thats just **** its a joke
I think it's joke ... ( 3 months ago by PrincessEnnaElorac)
I think it's joke because it's not like you are steeling money from them, cause i would understand if it was a movie but it isn't it is a FREE tv programme!

lol impossible youtube would only delte your videos they cant sue you!

this music was in doctor who! i remember it clear as day
well one could say ... ( 1 month ago by p0pc0rn00)
well one could say its a joke.. but its very logical that fremantle media would sue you for that. because it is in their copyright and you DO need a license to upload their material.. soo.. if you really think its a joke.. take a risk an see what happens. Im about to go work for them so be kinda funny to me. :)
I think that it is ... ( 1 month ago by Neighboursfan1986)
I think that it is quite possible that it is a joke since they haven't had my account blocked, but I can't afford to take the risk of the seing me so I have stopped uploading full epiodes of neighbours as requested in the message.
ok mate.. but be ... ( 1 month ago by p0pc0rn00)
ok mate.. but be careful are you sure they dont want you to remove the episodes you have uploaded already too? cause technically thats still in breach of their contract, you should check that just in case
