As soon as you have a successful video, people will begin to upload duplicates of it, in hopes that they can get in on the action. These copycats will leech views from you, so it is important to periodically search for copies of your successful videos. I catch about 1 copy a week or so. When you find a copy, the removal process is pretty simple.
Click on the little flag icon below the video, and a list of options will come up.
It will take a few clicks (select "infringes my rights" then "infringes my copywrite", then submit) and you will be taken to a copywrite infringement basics page.
Click on "submit a copywrite complaint."
Select "copywrite infringement, someone copied my creation".
Select "I am!"
Fill out the form. You will need to paste the URL of the offending video and the URL of your own video. You will need to provide some identifying information as well. One form can be used to eliminate multiple copy videos.
Once you have submitted the form, it takes anywhere from seconds to days before the copy will be taken down.
