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!

It seems particularly strange given that they contacted you about that revenue sharing deal a few months ago, right?

Re: saving comments, can you get them if you do a "Save Page As" on your comment pages?

This is why vidders need their own AO3. Does the OTW have any advice on what to do about account strikes at YouTube?

Yeah - from one extreme to the other!

Hmm... I have no idea. I'll check it out.

I'll check that out as well. I have no idea what would happen if they just deleted the account - or how I would got disputing it.

And that's why I wanted to support the AO3 - I hope that gets off the ground.
