Beyond the fact that you shot and perhaps edited the content, as an artist this is still your intellectual property. You really should copyright everything you shoot, but if you haven't there are still a few things that work in your favor, such as the location of the shoot, if its your place or a place of someone who will vouch the fact that you were there shooting the content, also you must have project files from the editing program and the movies still saved somewhere on the timeline with cuts and transitions and such, if they sync up, thats in your favor as well! It really shouldn't be hard to prove the content is yours if you're taking this issue to litigation, but if you're just trying to get them to take it down under threat of litigation chances are you'd get blown off as most douche-bags do in this industry... Best thing to do is make a .png watermark in the lower right hand corner of the frame that is a constant. Yes rendering time my take longer, but in the least your work is marked, because intermittent plashes of your site's name can be easily cut out... Try doing this in the future. Make one file watermarked for publication and one file "raw" without watermark for your files, so that later you can use the content in other venues. Hope this helps!
