Well It Happened

[My Little Mandy 838]

I finally got my first strike on youtube. In the end I panicked and deleted alot of my movies since I didn’t wanna risk getting in trouble again. which also means alot of my popular vids had to be taken down too.

Oy vay what a morning….

Ahh, I remember when my original YouTube got taken down and it took a bunch of other accounts with it. They used to allow you to use one Email for multiple accounts, soo yeah, I was dumb.

I've actually been really good on youtube. All I upload is music, so I don't have to worry, unless I make a PMV that does gather copyright attention.

Next time you upload your videos use this copyright of fair use:

 

 

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use"

 

1. Video is muted.

2. Click copyright under it will take you to this page about copyright.

3. Press take me to the dispute form.

4. Then when it ask you reason for dispute there are 3 options.
Click the 3rd bubble that says briefly explain.

5. Copy this in quotes into the briefly explain.
"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use"

6. Write your name on the next step.

7. Finally copy and paste that signature that says good faith.

8. Your video should now be unmuted immediately if not it might take some time

 

 

There, googled it for you, have a good day/night

You should make sure that you're not taking credit for the movies that you upload, uploading something different without getting flagged for copyright could help.

@@My Little Mandy,

 

Don't worry about it.................Youtube staff and that automatic copyright detector are such sacks of crap.  I've got a few in the past, b/c of music, yet I came back at them and told them i noted on the video that it didn't belong to me.  Goddamn Copyright bullshit is such a drag in the US, unfortunately,

 

However, like @[member=~TheMareintheMoon] mentioned......copy and paste the copyright description into the video description and soon enough, you won't get in trouble again.  If you do and you have that in your description, you can get back at them for that.

Hey, @My Little Mandy. That sucks that you got a strike on Youtube :/ I do not personally recommend taking down all of your videos in response, though. You should just read up on what their rules are, and remove anything that might break them.
 
However, I will have to lock this topic due to the fact that it is a personal update as opposed to something that could result in substantial discussion among many people. This would be better suited to a status update or a blog post. 
 
You can post status updates using your status updates page. If you're not sure how to use the blog system, I recommend checking out this FAQ article.
 
Good luck with this situation, I hope it gets better.
