hello! I have recently released a video onto youtube of my team's robot... However, I am getting a copyright notice using the music, "Here it goes again" by OKGO... And they said that the video is blocked in Germany, However, some viewers are stating that they are having problems viewing the video... I tried it on my phone, it doesn't work. But I try it on my computer, and it works. I bought and used the legit version of the music and filed an appeal using the "Fair Use Policy in Section 107"... Is there anything that I can do? Thanks in advanced.

Here is the full response:
Song By OKGO (Here is goes again) The Video is a reveal video of a robotics team robot. This video's sole purpose is to introduce our team's robot to other teams competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. No monetary gain is produced. We are using the "Fair Use Act" as stated, "Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes" This is a nonprofit video with no monetary gain used for educational purposes.
