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!

Re: saving comments, can you get them if you do a "Save Page As" on your comment pages?
Hmm... I have no idea. I'll check it out.
Does the OTW have any advice on what to do about account strikes at YouTube?
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.
