#2I secretly wish I had the background law knowledge to screw with people who attempt to send these letters. I get C&D letters from youtube because my videos allegedly contain copyright music. The funny part is that my videos only contain my voice, which I'm pretty sure is not copyrighted.

#3Sadly, the letter is unreadable on Firefox Android. It's like everything is a widget these days, web pages are no longer self-contained, and usability, among other things, suffers.

Your voice isn't copyrighted, but you might infringe if you were singing a copyrighted song.

#5The first time the page displayed for me, the response was shown as a 400 Bad Request Nginx error, which would have been a great response to this kind of C&D letter.

Also unreadable where i work where scribd is basically useless. Would be nice if people linked to pdfs instead of scribd.

It was a joke but I didn't know that (hence my secret desire to learn more about law). They are simple computer tutorials.

Your voice may not be subject to performance copyright violations, but it can assuredly invoke lyrical copyright violations. edit, cached, i lost the race.

From the moment you saved your recording of your voice, you were granted copyright protection to that work. The only recordings for which a copyright doesn't exist are those old enough to be in the public domain. Even a recording that infringes someone else's copyright is still protected by its own copyright rights; you can't distribute it without causing damages to the other rights holder, but the author still has exclusive rights to their creation.
