YouTube removes my account?

[Pwolf]

Hi ~ I've just joined having recently made my first AMV which I posted on YouTube a couple of days ago. I'm surprised/alarmed to hear that YT take AMVs down - I thought they had a deal whereby if they spot copyrighted material they just slap an advert on it. I assumed any income generated from it then goes to the copyright holder as compensation. Is that not how it works? If it isn't it should be.

Possibly, but if the copyright holder wants the video taken down, they have that right.

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Indeed YouTube = FailTube. Nonetheless, it is a good tool for now, and their 2 GB size limit is easier to work with than here.

I recently uploaded my first AMV to YouTube, and got a notice saying that they knew what song was in the video but that it wasn't a big deal, the only repercussion is that my video is bannned in Germany. Did this happen to you before yours got banned, or did you get no such notice? And do you think mine could be banned?

Thanks

There's very little reason for anyone to encode a video larger than the 100mb limit we have here.

If YT wants to ban me I receive first a message saying that one of my vids contains copyrighted material, specyfing which video and the company claiming rights like Tv Tokyo.

So I just simply erase the video inmediately I receive the message cause if I just leave it like that, in hoirs I got the strike :S

That's the reason my acc never gets strikes, even when it was banned once and got it back

One of them being a lack of encoding knowledge, needless to say...

Very little > none. That's pretty much THE reason; videos over 15 minutes long. And those are given exemptions.

Actually, given you put together some monstrosity (1080p MEP hours long), even going over 2GB would be probably fine here.

Do we take resolution into account now? I tried to get an exemption based on resolution (and detail, and 5.1 audio) for something and was told to re-encode it. I got the feeling that length was an acceptable reason, but resolution was a "get alternate hosting, compress more, or shrink the video down if you want to host it here" type of thing still.

In fact the problem lies more in "there is no anime in native 1080p and rarely in native 720p", so it usually makes no sense to encode in larger resolutions. Which is why the deciding is a little bit biased towards length, I suppose. I don't manage the large uploads, though, so I don't really know :>
