Earlier this week, YouTube pulled the plug on funnyman and media artist Santeri Ojala, whose hilarious and popular “shredding” videos poke fun at the world’s great guitar players.
YouTube said it received three complaints of copyright infringement and automatically suspended Ojala’s account.
YouTube has a standing policy to suspend accounts after three complaints from copyright holders, whether the complaints are valid or not. YouTube declined to say who filed the complaints, but it was likely the guitar gods themselves – or their representatives.
Ojala, who overdubs rock concert footage with his own bad guitar playing, says he has no plans to fight YouTube’s decision, which would likely require him to hire a lawyer and file suit against the company.
I don’t know how to embed those on this site so go to the link and pick the videos at the bottom.
The Santana one made me laugh so hard I cried.
Malmsteen, Van Halen, Slash and Metallica are pretty good too.
