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 actually have two strikes against me (multiple copyright violations regarding Law & Order: SVU videos, strike one made up 5 or so videos, strike 2 6 or so) along with another video that has an open copyright infringement right now (a Sesame Street vid) but it says I don't have to do anything, just to expect some possible ads to pop up. Thing is, I didn't create any of these myself like you did, I just uploaded clips. So I dunno, I have two strikes and I took all the bad ones down, but who knows? I'd hate to lose my account but there's not much I can do about it.

Ah. My strike one is for one vid only. I mean, I usually get notices on the others but they seem to be cleared up. I removed the vid to be safe. I am concerned about another claims I have in though.

I suppose I will need to be more careful in the future. :(

Thanks hun.
