ThriftyAV Performs Parody! If you enjoy this silly video, please share where spoof vids are welcome: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Chat Forums, wherever! I rarely request for viewers to share vids, but this is not your typical "ThriftyAV" fare! A wider audience might enjoy this parody. This generic Bluetooth Wireless Karaoke Microphone is just like "House Party Karaoke" as seen on TV. With this microphone you have the ability to alter your voice from deep and low to high pitched! But wait, there's more! You can add a reverb effect, sing along with the radio (maybe), and use this device as a bluetooth speaker. There's even MORE!

How to Report a Copyright Complaint on YouTube when someone uploads your content on their channel. And you do have options when filing a complaint! I recently had a major portion of one of my videos re-uploaded by another channel. I found this copyright violation with I clicked on "Manage Videos", then went to the "Copyright" tab. I then discovered that this was a new channel, less than one month old, that had uploaded 217 videos including my own over that period. The channel had 324 views but only 1 subscriber. In their description of my video, they included their own Amazon Affiliate link to the product being discussed in the video. This was an obvious attempt to monetize of Amazon from my content. Finally, I check some over video hosting sites to see if my video has been re-posted elsewhere under the same title. 0:00 Copyright Tab 0:24 The Channel 1:02 The stolen vid 1:43 Reporting Options 3:22 Checking Other Sites My Website https://thriftyav.com​​​​ Bonus Content & Early Access on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ThriftyAV​​​​ #copyright #DMCA #FileCopyright
