The undersigned feel that Sony Music Entertainment need to reconsider the blockage and denial of usage of their content and allow fair usage of their material used, essentially to promote their artists' material without any form of reimbursement. Ryan James Yezak made no profit off of the material used in his "Britney Spears Hold It Against Me Music Video Parody", so we, the undersigned, personally see no reason for the block to have been put into effect.


Ryan James Yezak and crew have inspired and entertained hundreds of thousands -- possibly millions -- of people the world over during his short tenure on the popular web content website, Youtube.com. In doing so, he and his sponsors have spent a substantial amount of money for the sole purpose of entertainment, and promoting the song and artist material presented in each of his works.


We, the undersigned, ask that Sony Music Entertainment reconsider the block they have put into effect for his video, "Britney Spears Hold It Against Me Music Video Parody", located at: http://www.youtube.com/ryanjamesyezak#p/a/u/0/xiPmaNGSZsE


Thank you,

The Undersigned

This is ridiculous. It was such a great parody and honestly made me want to listen to the original even more. Sony needs to chill.

Total garbage that they took this down. It brings so much attention to the artist, they should be thanking him.

I worked so hard on my parody too and now I am scared to even post it. They are ruining the creative community.
