ash48I 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!

Date: 2010-06-16 02:39 pm (UTC)I've been lucky, first couple of times I had a copyright notice I removed the vids they scared me that much, but lately I've just been disputing merrily and have so far (touch wood - bangs head) I've not had one of these.
Not sure how a back-up account would help as wouldn't you be caught as soon as you upload? They seem much tighter on that now, I've got to the point where I upload and set it to private as I always seem to have to dispute and then once the dispute goes through then switch it over to public.
I'm really sorry if it leads to you losing all your comments. *hugs*

Ah, that's a good idea. I've only discovered recently that I can set to private. (I've never really explored YT thoroughly).
I don't think a back up will help. It seems peeps do it so they can keep their favourites and their subscriptions.
I think the real panic will set in if I get another one.
