Ugh, right after I said Nickelback was bad about copyright stuff, but mine hadn't been touched... just got claimed this morning. UGH. I've had almost 10 taken down by now, I think. :/

Ugh, so sorry they've gotten so many of yours, Sassy!

I just got this and it was news to me, lol! Spoilered so it won't stretch the page...

Spoiler:

I have to admit, it kinda made me laugh. They didn't remove or disable my vid, they just disabled the sound! So I have a mute vid now (unless of course, I want to just swap one of their "allowed" songs in under it. 'Cause you know, it's not like it would matter if my vid named "Bawitdaba" had a totally different song other than "Bawitdaba" right?

). Anybody else get this one yet?

Here are the options you get if you click "Resolve copyright issue" --

I've had quite a few taken down/blocked also. It sucks. I had uploaded a Jate vid, and within minutes they blocked the audio so I had deleted it off Youtube and moved it to a different site.

The owners should be like, happy that they're gaining more fans by fan videos, ya know. But whatever. I'm bummed that this is happening because I've had 3 videos blocked and they were the most popular ones I had... I have more popular ones, but those were the most popular, and those videos have been on YT for 2-3 years, and now they're gone.

I hope they'll unblock those videos one day...

I heard if you edit the audio in audacity and change the pitch slightly it may not be recognised when YT scans it?

Is it possible for someone to make a list of all the artists/singers that YT don't accept?

I think it's the record companies Jemmz, not he bands. like that whole Warner Bro's thing? So maybe there's a list of warner bros bands/singers somewhere cos presumably they'd all be rejected by youtube :S

edit: i found one!

Ugh!

None of my videos had been taken down yet until today. They blocked "The Day the Music Died." And I don't think I have a copy on my computer...

Maybe I'll redo it one of these days.. I was thinking about doing that anyway.

Stupid Youtube.

Ugh sorry about that, Kat. They got hold of my old account and have been deleting/removing audio on that one so I've got a Vimeo account just in case they delete my "A Part Of History" vid. This sucks though!

Lostwithoutdom · Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2009 4:18 pm Post subject:

So far they've just been targeting my older wmm vids, so right now i'm not that upset. But i'm scared that once they find my account they're gonna start deleting like crazy.

I know what you mean Morgan

No matter what happens, even if they delete my account, I'll just create a new one. If they decide to "ban my ISP", well..more power to them, but it's slightly tougher to do that nowadays, as some providers ISP tends to change everyday.

I think it's a mess. I think that a big group of fansites, be it LOST or whomever, need to pull together, contact YouTube and see if something can be arranged. Just one vidder going head to head against them wouldn't do much good, however, if you get a couple of large fansites, contact YouTube or even the record labels, then something may change down the road.

YouTube or the record companies won't change these things unless communication is made by the fansites. As stated before, we make ZERO profit off this.

Petitions, protests, etc. have changed LOADS of issues in regards to all sorts of things. The same action could have an effect on this issue.

in case anyone wants it, there's this free program to get videos off youtube if you don't have a copy on your computer. I did that the other day in case more videos get blocked/deleted.

The program is called ATube Catcher http://www.freewarefiles.com/ATube-Catcher_program_34074.html

I manged to get all of my videos I didn't have on my computer by using that program.
