I don't know how this could happen so quickly.



I hear about extremists going to lengths to terminate speech that they don't agree with from Youtube but there is little to no speech in my videos to begin with.



Somebody falsely flagged 3 videos of mine as innapropriate in very short order while I was sleeping.



Axis and Allies RTS Theme Music British 1 (2004. Atari/Timegate) (Animated) 4:28 AM (5 hours ago)

Axis and Allies RTS Theme Music German 1 (2004. Atari/Timegate) (Animated) 4:29 AM (5 hours ago)

and

Deus Ex Official Trailer (2000, Eidos) 3:22 AM (6 Hours ago)

all within a short time of each other.



Somebody worked to try to terminate my account on Youtube very quickly and it seems they have. I was going to share more of my work too today ﻿



I cannot even log into Youtube to appeal the flags.

Most likely the videos were falsely flagged as "offensive" or "hate speech".



It is possible that somebody who doesn't have ownership is claimnig ownership but in most cases I have seen big companies are happy to let you share video content so long as they throw ads on them and monetize them for themselves.





Edit:



Hm... or maybe some clueless person flagged my video because of hateful comments people left on those videos? The WW2 ones I could understand but the Deus Ex one not so much... It doesn't make sense and I can only speculate.

YouTube doesn't really care about copyright abuse just as long as they get their money from ads and by collecting information. You might be innocent, but there's no such concept in the DMCA, it seems. At least, you're guilty unless proven otherwise (and good luck with that).



You should check your mail associated to your YouTube account for a mail explaining the reason for the suspension/ban of your channel.



It seems that fair use is a dying concept on the Internet, sadly. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link

Or maybe the process is very automatized and done in haste. I doubt somebody qualified looked at the situation and made a fair judgment call on it. The so called 'YouTube team' could be people in India doing outsourcing for YouTube.



The current copyright system is much like deep-sea-bottom trawling, it doesn't matter if non-legitimate stuff is being destroyed in the process, just as long as the record companies/copyright holders is satisfied with the catch.

posted February 21, 2014 06:01 PM First of all. Trailers are public material so Deus Ex trailer cannot be copyright infringement.



Technically axis and allies soundtrack could be, I'm not familiar with their royalty status.



Someone just found axis in the name and went all psycho for it and because they had axis in the name, no one checked and it got terminated.





I would write an email to their support about this, you won't probably get more than a "No thank you" response because they don't know who terminated it or why but you never know.

posted February 21, 2014 06:43 PM They don't have an official support method to reach them other than using a form to confirm the email assigned to the account... it's very strange.



I know that it is limited intentionally to prevent them from being flooded with inane requests like password resets or people not understanding the limitations of the service trying to make it do something it can't.



Funny thing is I just created a Twitter account to share updates on the other day.



@YoutubeShyranis



As well as a Facebook page.

I guess they're both useless now.

Yeah. There's a colossal quantity of material on YouTube and the "team" that checks reports is probably constantly bottlenecked with the massive amount of flags that come in. Some random office clerk with deep-rooted prejudices probably gave a cursory glance at the material, associated you with a skinhead, and locked your account.



Axis and Allies game music. Serious business.





Sieg Heil!



wait, wut?
