I got a "strike one" on my You Tube account today and it's freaked me out!! (and yes, I may have been caught panicking a little tiny bit)

I can't believe it was on a vid I posted over a year ago (Heaven's Door). I always dispute my copyright infringements and usually the vids are restored. In fact I thought this one was... but.... yikes! I've been put on notice. Looks like 3 strikes and they'll delete my account. I think that may well kill me. There's a lot of work on there.

Do I make a back up account? I can't say I'm keen to but if I do do I reload my vids on that? I really don't want to do that either, but I don't want to lose everything..) I see lots of peeps make "back up accounts" - but I'm not sure what that entails.

I suppose I've been lucky so far... I have 40 vids up and this is the first time this has happened.

Damn!

I guess it's a case of invest in an external hard drive, and make backup copies, then if they "kill" you, you wont loose your work! Kinda sucks, eh!

Off to check out your account - 40 vids, really? I musta been sleeping, lol!

Hee! Oh man, we have a heap of external drives. I do have all my work saved and everything, but if they delete me it means losing the comments and stuff - and even though that's probably a bit shallow they do cheer me up. I have thought about hosting my own website - but yeah. That's a big step. Maybe one day.

And yes! 40! I can't believe it. :D

(And whee, just booked tickets to Sydney for the end of the year. Maybe we can catch up again?)

That would be a definite "YES!"

Drat, suddenly felt pressure to produce!

Watched McKellan in Waiting For Godot at Opera House - phew! He's a damn fine actor; yeah, so that's a secret!

Yay! I'll let ya know the details closer to the time. :)

Oh that show was just here. I dearly wanted to see it, but didn't get a chance. I bet it was awesome. He is definitely amazing.

If you can spare the money I'd encourage you to go for hosting your own web-space. It's no way as scary as it sounds (I'm not very tech savvy and still figured it out). Added benefit is that you can stream from there as well, so you don't need to worry about places like BAM going bust.

I would love to be host my own web-space. My hubby is web designer so that end wouldn't be a problem, it might just be the cost I'd have to look into.

Thanks. :)
