you tube called me out
The jig is up. I got the following note from YouTube today:

It seems a big corporate recording company doesn’t like people using their copyrighted material in our personal YouTube videos. Even if those videos were only viewed a total of 50 times by probably only a handful of unique visitors. Well, big recording company, I’m sorry – truly. I should have gotten your permission first. I suppose there was some blatant copyright infringement here, but isn’t it good marketing in the end? Please, please don’t sue.
Oh well, I’ve swapped out the audio with some creative commons licensed music from NIN. All is right with the world again.
