Ack!

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'm surprised you've evaded the YT police this long!:P Hun, I'm in the same boat; have had a strike against me for a while now. As you know, I have a back-up but so far I've only used it to subscribe to vidders I don't want to lose, as well as fav'ing vids. I'll only use that account to re-upload vids if my main one is ever deleted.

For me too, it's the idea of losing all the wonderful comments. That's the real shame.

Yes, I did think of you. It's kinda scary - I would hate for everything to be deleted. More so for comments and subs etc. I think I'll be too scared to dispute copyright claims anymore.

I might make a back up just in case. I'll see. Definitely if I get another strike. :(
