Naughty-Titled Playlist of My Videos

[Aldis]

This'll be a short one and is just to vent.

I just searched my username(dizbet) on youtube, and along with my videos I found a playlist consisting of all my videos, titled "flexi Dizbet slam her" and this is not by me but by someone under the username "dyebarrel".

Maybe it's just me but isn't that, oh I don't know...inappropriate? I mean, shouldn't he have asked for my permission or something? I feel like I just became a part of something I didn't want to be a part of, like the porn industry or something.

Am I being overly sensitive? I mean, I realize that there are always going to be people like that out there, but I didn't think I'd be "victimized". I think I'm starting to sound sheltered and sensitive.

The main thing is, I don't know whether I should confront him about this and demand he change the title or just leave it be, or report it or something. Advice?

Please and Thank you!

I contacted YouTube about a video of mine someone saved and uploaded on their own name. The video was removed within a couple days. The idiot subscribed to my account and I was able to realize my vid had been stolen. Unfortunately I'm willing to bet this happens a whole lot.

if you add to your request that if he does not change you will contact youtube, then he will change. because if youtube ever suspends his account it's very unprobable he will ever get it back. At least I did not get mine back, despite that the copyright holder I got problems with retracted his claims. Gone is gone...

yeah, unfortunately you don't have much control of what you put out there, once it's in the public domain, it's free game. You could try messaging the user and asking if they would change the name of the playlist as it offends you. If you are nice about it he may be shocked and possibly even impressed that you'd taken the time to contact him, then change it. Or he may just be a rude pervo and refuse, but at least you'll have tried and then you can contact Youtube about it.

Thanks Jared, I'm definitely going to stick to it because I definitely think the good feedback outweighs the bad. I wish you all the best.

Despite being male, I get the same thing all the time. About 99% of all the comments on youtube I get are from perverted guys, either telling me to do this or that or just saying pervy things. Or they'll send private messages which are always worse; I've even been propositioned by people to be paid for sex. Its all very repulsive to me. But the thing is that youtube is a very popular site and so it gets all the weirdos with very specific fetishes. They are going to find you on youtube and view you as porn, which is gross. But I think that is the risk of putting something out to the public. You can't regulate who watches you and why. I keep putting myself up there because I think its worth it for me to ignore perverts in order to get proper clean feedback about my routines.

I think you're right about the playlist. I just think that you should at least need to get it approved by the owner/s of the videos. I'm still debating about whether or not I should contact youtube, I'm leaning more towards just forgetting about it, its bound to happen a lot to a lot of people. We'll see though.
Thanks :-)

I was under the impression that anyone could make a playlist of videos they found and name it whatever they want, but I'm not a YouTube member, so I don't know for sure. He did not steal your videos, he just linked them together to watch for his own person reasons and named it something inappropriate. If the title of his playlist of your videos offends you and you want to take action, contact YouTube. They have a nifty link on the bottom of their home page. Click "Contact Us" then "Abuse and Policy Center".

Best of luck!
