Towards the end of last year I had one of my videos stolen by the daily mail. They put it up on their website and added their adverts in front of it.
I decided to take them on for a copyright breach, and whilst they offered small increments from 50 to a 'final' offer of 250. I managed to get them for 1,000!
Now this is money isn't for me, I decided before I started the process of chasing them down, that I would donate all of it to charity, due to the nature of the video (about the cycle deaths we had towards the end of the year, filmed at a vigil held by the LCC), I have decide to donate it all to the London Cycling Campagin.
