that made me smile through my tears. Thank you. Michael's singing was flawless as usual. God bless his soul.

Wow! That's a great find! I never thought MJ would play to a stadium like that, singing the national anthem. Thanks for sharing!

Especially since the group were Jehovah's Witnesses at the time, lol.

How is that? The national anthem is public domain, there is no copyright, unless there is a unique arrangement. But maybe whoever owns the footage, perhaps the baseball league, has a copyright.

some company called 'west grand media' filed a copyright complaint against that vid and as a consequence my channel was deleted. Do u think I should have disputed it? I'm not sure how copyright law works so I just let them take it down.

I never know what's up with Youtube. They usually just put up a notice to swap the music or the video has been disabled, not just delete the channel out of the blue. This all started when Google bought Youtube. Now it's Theirtube.

Yeh I don't understand youtube latley either...alot of ppl are having their accounts suspended with now warning or chance to take down the copyrighted video without their accounts being suspended. I suppose it depends on the company making the copyright claim...some companies are willing to let you keep your video with the audio swapped or with advertisements on the side...others like 'west grand media' give you no chance at all and just delete your account...its the luck of the draw I suppose, coz nearly all vids on youtube are copyrighted somehow...its just a wait to see how long it takes for them to track you down.
