A recent wave of takedowns notices affecting many of the Hitler “Downfall” parody videos has resulted in their removal from YouTube. (EDIT: These videos were blocked by YouTube’s Content ID system, not taken down via DMCA notices. For more on the difference between these two, see the EFF’s Guide to YouTube Removals.) The copyright claim is being filed on behalf of Constantin Films, the German production company that owns the rights to the 2004 film Der Untergang (Downfall), from which the clip originates.

why couldnt they just look at it as free advertising? seems foolish to take them all down.. and why now? that memes been around for a while now

[awepittance]

some people like to throw their weight around

[chenGOD]

apparently the director of "Downfall" really likes some of the parodies.

It's probably just the production company being dickfaces.

[karmakramer]

I never get this... isn't youtube basically giving free advertising to this movie...

Its hardly an outrage, the joke is dead anyway and they have a completely legitimate right to the clip.

I honestly never even would have heard of the movie if it weren't because of the parodies.
