no, because I managed to upload said skydive video with backing music whereas its owner did not. He was on AOL, maybe that made a difference or maybe he used a different codec or something that allowed it to be automatically recognised - it happened almost straight away. It might just be the rights owners flagging it up, they might trawl the site I suppose.
