What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Tennessee
Hi everyone,
I produced a series of 18 videos teaching others how to build a solar panel and solar power system from scratch, and I placed the videos on YouTube. I soon after registered all the videos to the copyright office at copyright.gov, and recently received my certificate in the mail.
Anyway,
Someone on YouTube contacted me and stated that another site/company was selling a solar guide bundle deal for $69.95, and when you pay this company to get access to the content, the YouTuber stated that they had included 11 of my solar videos in the bundle deal, and users could click on a download link and download the videos to their computer.
I asked the YouTuber for a link to this content, and he/she provided the link, and I found everything exactly like the YouTubers stated. I used a video capture program to document this in case they try to pull it off and for my records.
My question here is, what exactly should I do here, or can I do anything about it? I personally would like to sue the company/owner if possible as it's no telling how long they have been doing this, and they are obviously making money from my hard work.
Just seeking guidance here and what options I have, thanks for reading.
