Removing an unauthorized HP vid upload?

[Dina Lerret]

Has anyone tried to remove a [song]vid from YouTube?  Success rate?


The rest of the message is blah-blah-blah, so can be skipped.  Above
question is my priority.

I did not give permission for this vid to be uploaded:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYePWjnYyFA

While the person who put it there meant so in a nice fashion, I don't
want the vid there.  Offhand, only one site has ever been given
permission to host my vids elsewhere.  My option is to contact Faychii
but YouTube requires I create an account with them.  Ugh, but I'll do
it if necessary.

As long as I have a good working website (site's been around for eight
years and I just renewed the domain for another four years) and files
are free to download for everybody and I don't mind direct links
(please don't stream the file), I don't want to see my vids elsewhere.
 There is no reason for them to be uploaded elsewhere.  If my website
dies or I die and can't pay the hosting bills, *then* there's a
reason.

And then there's this from YouTube:

Uh, I'm the vidder of copyrighted video and music... and I'm not the
copyright holder.  Good combination. {g}

Other than Veritaserum, if there are bunniqula vids not hosted at
archive.nu, they're not authorized uploads.  I'm into making revisions
because I'm a middle-range vidder and I always *require* improvements,
so I'd rather not see multiple versions floating around.  If I was
given account access to alter my vids at any time and the webhost is
solid and advertisement-free, then I'd consider other hosting
options... That day has not arrived.
