Yes! I received my very first YouTube takedown notice for an unedited presentation of the TiVo Series3 startup animation, originally posted fall of 2006. Of course, the irony here – and something THX may not be aware of – is that TiVo, Inc facilitated and OK-ed this video upload as a supplement to my Engadget review. I forwarded their email back to copyright@youtube.com asking for a THX contact. However, I don’t expect to receive any sort of info without filing a DMCA counter notice. Which I have no intention of doing. THX (and TiVo) will just lose out on the free advertising. Works for me.

Incidentally, the THX folks didn't seem to mind the spontaneous ~3 hours I spent in their booth answering questions at CES 2007 with TiVoShanan. In fact, they gave me a doll and snapped this picture.
FYI the video is still available for download on Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/videos-of-the-tivo-series3-in-action/
