My God!!! Very serious copywrite question?

    Guys this is very serious question, so please listen carefully and tell me what should i do.

    My website,video sharing website, HankerTube dot com is active since 6 months and spent lots of money around £1000 on the layout of the page, which is similar to YouTube, and yet not exactly is copywrited to YouTube, based on scripting and features.

    Recently i wanted to advertise my website on Google Adwords, and my ad for the very first was refused! You Know why, this is what they said:

    Ad Status: Disapproved
    Ad Issue(s): Copyright

    ~~~~~~~~~SUGGESTIONS:

    Ad Content: It has come to our attention that your ad promotes the
    copying or distribution of copyrighted material without the consent of
    the copyright holder.
    ---------------------
    POLICY DEFINITIONS:

    Copyright: Copyright Infringement: Copyrights are important business
    assets in which the copyright holder maintains exclusive rights. You
    must not use AdWords to promote the copying or distribution of
    copyrighted TV shows, movies, or music that cannot be distributed
    freely online, or for which you don't have consent from the copyright

    To learn more about how we handle copyright issues within the AdWords
    program, view the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and our copyright
    policy and procedures at http://www.google.com/dmca.html.
    ---------------------

    Now guys please tell me what should i do?
    I understand that some videos are embeded and played on our website, and yet they have YouTube's logo, is this still copywright?

    Or please tell me if i have to add some text on the bottom of the website, that we are not responsible for the content of any video being posted or uploaded on our website, or if requested by the users we will just delete them...

    On topic: That denial refers to material on the site, not the layout. I think the videos are the problem not the design.

    Yeah, it sounds like Google doesn't want to be liable for any advertisers who use their ad platform to promote potential copyright material, and with a user generated, video sharing site thier may be that potential.
