I don't understand. I created the video. I wrote, directed, recorded, and starred in it. It does not show any proprietary information that any competitor can't get by simply buying an N800 and disassembling it themselves.

I would file a counter note, then. Probably a knee-jerk reaction from the legal dept.
Send a note back saying exactly that. You recorded and edited the video yourself, so Nokia's claim is baseless. It'll be back up in two weeks as per the DMCA's rules.
ok, nokia has just violated your civil rights... so what are you gonna do about it?
I sent back a counter and will post more of it soon. I don't think Nokia violated my civil rights. I think lawyers made a mistake in identifying that video as Nokia proprietary information.
The legal firm hired by Nokia did something similar with Stefan from Ring Nokia just recently. Eventually Nokia apologised as the legal firm were way out of line.
I suspect the same has happened to you - brain definately not engaged when firing off the take down order to Google. And I'm sure Nokia will be charged on a per letter basis too! :)

I'm glad this video is still out there. I know one day I will have to replace the display on my N800. I refer to this often, and I'll have to save a copy too.
Great work!
