By the watermark? Watermark doesnt prove anyting, anyone can watermark any video and upload it claiming he is the copyright owner.
This email is a desperate joke.

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that this industry has well recognized brands?
The equivalent would be someone sitting behind Youtube, manually reviewing every video, and saying they didn't understand Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or other easily identifiable content was copyrighted material, and approving it.
I am pretty sure someone who is fresh to the industry, and is given 10 minutes of training and a list of the biggest brands can sort that a video greater than 20 minutes in time-length, carrying a recognizable watermark and clear identifications of that brand, is piracy. I think ignoring this simple reality very much fits the definition of "willfully blind." That type of mentality certainly suits their bottom line at the expense of content creators, and everybody here knows it.
