Copycats! (Copyright infringement)

Well, it's been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

You know how Jasmine's "45 Cute Dog Tricks" video is big right now?   Well... so far I've found 3 people that have re-uploaded it as their own work. 

I'm kind of torn.  On one hand, I feel like that's more publicity for Jasmine... her videos would reach a wider audience.  However, on the other hand, I don't really like people stealing my videos and uploading them as theirs either.   So... ???  I don't know what I should do.  2 of the 3 copycats seem like just individuals doing it because they think Jasmine is cute.  The first one listed seems like a company though. (BreakTV)  So I might report them for copyright infingement.  It kind of bugs me that they don't even list Jasmine's name either.  All through all of the tags, they always call her Jesse the Jack Russell Terrier.   Now don't get me wrong...  we love Jesse!  We're actually friends with them.  (Heather and Jesse)   However, the video is obviously of Jasmine.  Jasmine and Jesse don't even look alike.  (They're just doing that to draw more traffic to their video.)   So... that's the only one I'm considering reporting.

I don't know... what do you guys think I should do?   Here's the copycats:

One is by:

BreakTV:  Cute Dog Tricks_ Amazing 45 Tricks


One is by:

Funny Animals:  "Dog Performs 45 Cute Tricks"


One is by:

Muhammad Ishaq  : 45 cute dog tricks 360




Here's my original video:

(By My Favorite Pup Jasmine)  called 45 Cute Dog Tricks


They've changed the front picture, but the video is exactly the same....

What would you do?
