Flagged

So I get this in email from YouTube.  Evidently since my video has music from UMG artists it is in violation.  However instead of pulling the clip they may simply insert advertising  for UMG.  Fair enough trade to me I guess although it all seems rather silly.  I mean WTF, do they hire some interns to listen to every single YouTube clip???
