As some of you may know, I have a YouTube account dedicated to video game footage with 6,000+ videos on it.
A few days ago I got a message that "TMSanime" said the following video was violating their copyright and it was being blocked.
"Working Designs website archive: rayearth 200X150.avi"
This was a video from the Working Designs website from years ago, with a temporary voice track for the intro and many people thought it was lost forever.
Now tonight I get a follow-up E-Mail that the video was removed.
So because of this nonsense, my YouTube account now says:
It also says "YouTube takes copyright infringement very seriously. If you receive three copyright strikes, your account and all videos uploaded to that account will be removed."
Do these strikes ever fall off the account? This seems like bullshit, if anything that video should have been fair use and been claimable by Working Designs.
