FUCK YOUTUBE!

April 16th, 2007 by littleBIGchris

The fuckers @ YouTube are on a copyright witchhunt, just deleting longterm loyal accounts left and right. They disabled me PERMENANTLY today, after I’ve been a member with them for over a year. Remember those funny Fratboy videos I posted wayyy back in the day? Well I added them into my YouTube account when I joined, just like a million people out there added random commercials and TV show clips and all kinds of shit that made the website popular, and now YouTube is suddenly claiming a copyright infringement cuz the videos don’t belong to me — even tho these are vids downloadable to ANYONE ANYWHERE on the web. They emailed me 3 seperate notices for each video about the supposed copyright infringement, sent them all within the same minute and then cancelled my account one minute later before I’d even gotten a chance to log in and remove them/contest the claim. Now they’ve seized my LittleBigChris username/email and banned me from renewing, and deleted all my vids too! I did a thorough search — all my shit is gone, even my personal vlog entries. Is this just me? A bunch of my other favorite YouTubers are gone too.

I’ve been e-warring with their Customer Support team all afternoon, who basically just keep referring me to their bullshit User Agreements and advising that Federal Law requires them to delete any account that infringes on copyrights. Yet they have no response as to how they even know I’m not the guy who owns the videos. For all they know I could be the one holding the damn camera, they have no way of fucking knowing. But on TOP of this, YouTube actually approved the videos when I posted them back when I joined in January 2006… so what’s up with that? They have nothing to say. This is all just getting really Big Brother.

Keep looking for me tho, cuz my vids are ALL going back up. I just rejoined under LittleBIGGERChris. Suck it, YouTube.

WATCH YOUR BACKS, DUDES! THEY’RE ON A HUNT!

    that’s what happens when nice little start-ups sell out to Google for billions of dollars. I know how you feel, I was unnecessarily banned from TWoP years ago with no explanation. I’m happier without it in my life.
