So an anti-piracy group has been getting videos taken down that have the word pixels in the title. Why you may ask? Because they believe that it is infringing on the copyrights to the Adam Sandler movie pixels.

An anti-piracy firm working for Columbia Pictures has hit Vimeo with a wave of bogus copyright takedowns just because people used the word 'Pixels' in their video titles. Several indie productions are affected, including an art-focused NGO, an award-winning short movie and a royalty free stock footage company.
This week anti-piracy group Entura International sent a notice to Vimeo in what first appeared to be an effort to stop piracy of the Columbia movie Pixels. Not only did it fail to do that in every way possible, it hit a number of indie creators and filmmakers instead.
Founded in November 2004, NeMe describes itself as a non-profit NGO and an Independent Museum of Contemporary Art.
Our NGO has just received a DMCA notice for a video we produced in 2006 entitled Pixels, the group told Vimeo this week.
The video was directed by a Cypriot film-maker using his own photos and sounds/music on a shoestring budget and infringes no copyright.
