Why did the NFL make Youtube take down Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad?

Of last night’s commercials, Chrysler’s Clint Eastwood ad was undoubtably one of the best. So why did the NFL claim copyright on the video and force YouTube to pull it down this morning? UPDATE!

The YouTube version of the ad was uploaded to Chrysler’s account right around when the spot first aired last night and was racking up serious views. Then, this morning, the video was pulled due to a “copyright claim by NFL Properties LLC.”

Since the ad contained no video of any NFL games (you can still see the spot here) the reasoning is unclear. Contacted this morning, an equally confused Chrysler rep said they were trying to get to the bottom of it and had uploaded it elsewhere.

Is this a case of SOPA abuse??
