Removing YouTube Videos that you did not upload or that are not in your account with YouTube is very difficult. There are a few cases where contacting YouTube to request removal is effective. If a video violates a copyright (image or sound) that you have rights to or can claim rights to, then you may have an easy case. If a Video violates YouTube;s terms of service then you may also have an easy case.

There are a lot of things that can violate YouTube terms here is a snippet from the YouTube terms page "We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity)." YouTube also mentions that they do not like: "Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of Use are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from YouTube."

In most cases YouTube will not remove a video about you that you simply do not like. A good example would be a news video or user video that talks bad about you or your company in the form of an opinionative review or rant. YouTube usually will not remove videos that simply talk bad about you unless other parts of the video CLEARLY violate their terms of use.

If a video about you ranks high on Google when someone searches your name or business name and you can not force removal of the video from YouTube, there are other solutions. Our firm can manipulate video search results to make the Video NOT show up high when people do searches for you. We can also mediate the removal of content. It can be a very time consuming and detailed process to communicate with YouTube. Our service will help make negative videos, not so negative.
