Copyright

After trying to upload our video onto Youtube so that we could share it online (etc), we received a message from Youtube as a German company (Constantine) were under the impression we had infringed copyright as we made the title of our film 'Deadbeatz' a similar title to theirs, about a DJ who makes a song that somehow creates a virus killing everyone who listened to it except himself. We tried to call the German company but none with any relevance to the matter (lawyers) were able to speak to us. We composed an email to them and to Youtube explaining that we did not intend to release an actual film and that it was purely a result of a project given to us by our college but if they needed us to change it we would be prepared to do so. Eventually it was decided we did not need to change the name of our film.
