As if plenty of people didn't already hate the Adam Sandler-starring Pixels movie, there are quite a few new reasons why you might dislike the filmespecially if you've ever uploaded a video to one of the Web's more popular video-hosting sites and dared to use the word "pixels" in the title.

You can probably see where this one is going.

According to TorrentFreak, one of the anti-piracy companies that Columbia Pictures sources out the (fun) work to, Entura International, has allegedly been going after some Vimeo videos that simply have the word "pixels" in the titleno doubt an attempt to prevent piracy of the film (that everyone seems so eager to watch). This shotgun approach has the (presumably) unintended effect of also pulling offline a number of legitimate videos that are either called "Pixels" or use the forbidden word somewhere in the title of the video.

Take, for example, the video "Pixels  Life Buoy," which was uploaded by Dragos Bardac.

"Life Buoy is my project for my degree at the National University of Arts from Bucharest. The film was made in mid 2010 and it is a music video for the song Life buoy by the band The Pixels. I used a mix of stop motion animation techniques in order to tell the story," he writes.

Is that the Adam Sandler film? No. Does it have anything to do with the Adam Sandler film? No. Is the video currently offline? Yes. And this is more than just a counter-claim hassle for creators targeted by the alleged infringement notice. The notice places a strike against these Vimeo users' accountsget to three, and said user is banned.

"Our NGO has just received a DMCA notice for a video we produced in 2006 entitled "pixels". the video was directed by a Cypriot film-maker using his own photos and sounds/music on a shoestring budget and infringes no copyright. The notice we received says that this is strike 1 which we do not accept for the aforementioned reason. It also says that for vimeo to accept to return the video online we have to give our name address and an assortment of statements," wrote the non-profit organization NeMe in a post on Vimeo's forums.

Vimeo's official response? Go through the official process.

"I'd suggest filling [sic] a counter notice. This is in the hands of our trust and safety team and we unfortunately our support team cannot help you with this issue. If you have any questions about the counter notice process, please email us," wrote Vimeo content and community manager Mark Cersosimo.

Humorously enough, Entura International's takedown request even pulled down the official Pixels trailer, too. How dare you infringe the Pixels movie, Pixels movie trailer.

According to Vimeo representatives, the company is looking into these takedowns.

"The videos were takedown [sic] in accordance with Vimeo's DMCA policy. However, Vimeo's Trust & Safety team are further evaluating the claims made and will have an update in the coming days," a spokesperson said to Kotaku.
