This actually happened last month (around Jan 19th or 20th?) – where I was notified that Youtube had closed and deleted my PetertheRanger account because of “repeated copyright infringement.” Naturally I wrote the folks at Youtube and asked what happened. And they sent back a canned response about “repeated copyright infringement.” So I hunted down another means of writing them – and discovered that they suddenly got notices for videos that had been up there for over 6 months (two of them were Criss Oliva Memorial videos using Savatage songs) and another one was a Brandon Lee Memorial Video. One of the Criss Oliva videos was over 2 years old on Youtube! And suddenly – these videos were tagged as “Copyright Infringement” – and so in the course of one day – I had three marks against me. So I tried to explain that – but ignorance is no excuse!
So my Youtube videos that were previously linked from my profile are no longer functioning.
I haven’t created a new Youtube profile yet. Email even said I am not supposed to. But I should just to spite them.
