James Alefantis requested removal of "proof" for death threats (pizzagate)

If you go to the description in that video, you can go to the Death Threat Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqMMm52CWxE

It says: "the video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by James A. Alefantis"

At first I thought he messed around with the source code, but there isn't anything unique in the video which infringes copyright more than other videos. Now if mr. Alefantis visits Voat, which he probably does, I would like to ask him what the reason for this is? Maybe there is a rational explanation, but this looks very strange.

Ok, update, it seems like the message completely disappeared, but here is a screenshot from when it was still up: https://postimg.org/image/ufsn6qd37/

The screen turns white now, is that normal to happen after a while with copyright claims of Youtube videos?

To answer the question for the lazy ones; no, not just anybody can submit a claim. You must submit paperwork to YT first proving you have the legal right to make the claim.
