Hi James, I'm guessing this was also filmed in your hometown of Perth, WA? I don't know this species, but I am pretty sure it isn't the same spider "infesting" a UK city that the Daily Express have used the footage to demonstrate. Many Australian spider species can be pretty scary, but UK spiders, even false widows, are nothing to worry about. Anyway, I hope you at least picked up a good few dollars from Nikolas Dost / Rebecca Hutson for your footage and weren't ripped off!

Thanks! After a quick search, I found 8 other sites also using this without permission.

Really? Without permission? That's way out of order, sorry to hear. FYI: The Express are full-on legitimately big 'n real enough (and horrible enough) to take to task for this without feeling petty (unlike some of the smaller bot-type offenders out there) although no doubt they have their defences all ready and primed for just such a thing. That said, if you didn't reply to the email below in the positive (and it's legit), I'd at least have a rant at them and seek an apology. Too many newspapers out there think they can recycle YT footage out of context, or sneak the smallest of usernames (briefly watermarked) in to say they had acknowledged it.

That's crazy. If there's one thing I hate about YT and the like... and that's the ease of which people can take stuff off it... and then pass it off as their own... sometimes back on the very platform they stole it from! It's almost as if the onus is on the owner to chase the thieves... and then defend that it wasn't intended for commercial re-use. And nobody can afford the kind of legal fees needed to keep off the bigger media transgressors. It's easy if you're a music channel like Vevo though of course... they come down on small-time plagiarists like a tonne of bricks. Double standards!

Hey James, can't say I'd cope so calmly with one of those in my house! I'm a journalist for Caters News and I'd love to speak to you about sharing this encounter with our client base! If you could drop me an email on lukekenton@catersnews.com that would be great! Thanks!
