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 05:54 pm (UTC)Oh no! Not a strike!! *feeds you cookies*
So far I had only (quite a few) "Germany-blockages". Disputes last usually a few days and then they block it again. My country is very efficent...*headdesk*
The only one they totally blocked I disputed and lately it doesn't even mention anything on there anymore about any copyright at all (?)...*scratches head*
I usually try to use "YT-approved" music. But the copyrights keep changing. So it's never really safe...unless you sing yourself *some more headdesk*
YT has turned into some kind of pit bull, biting all the youtubers. Hope they walk away from your account.(And stay away!)
*hugs*

I hope they stay away from me. Though I disputed another vid recently and I'm really worried they will give me a strike 2 on that one. Ark!!
I'll probably find out soon.
