NBC removes video due to copyright infringement

A video I posted on YouTube about 48 hours ago titled "Brazil vs. Nigeria - awesome bicycle kick" had received 2,327 hits. It will get no more. I got this message from YouTube in my inbox just now:

Dear Member:

This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by NBC Universal claiming that this material is infringing:

Brazil vs. Nigeria - awesome bicycle kick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy2vpLOSCBQ

Please Note: Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account. In order to prevent this from happening, please delete any videos to which you do not own the rights, and refrain from uploading additional videos that infringe on the copyrights of others. For more information about YouTube's copyright policy, please read the Copyright Tips guide.


Stay tuned...

So NBC owns the rights to it even though you filmed it? Where are your royalties?
