YT dispute

Has anyone else been successful in a YT dispute? I logged into my account today to discover this:

As a result of your dispute, the claim on your video, "Vienna (Ashes to Ashes fanvid)", has been removed. Your video has been restored to its original state.

My dispute was a response composed by morgandawn, I found it browsing various YT dispute posts - thanks :D

That's awesome! Do you mind if I ask - was the copyright claim based on the music or the visuals? Thanks!

I dont know about the dispute, but I just remember reading in the news yesterday somehwere, that Sony and Youtube (google) came to some sort of agreement ....

Well, I tried on one of my vids which was muted and as a result to my complaint, they now removed my ability to file anymore complaint after I had been told that my video was pulled from the public all together. That totally sucks. I used morgandawn's preset text for my video which was muted due to a claim by UMG. I say this absolutely stinks now.

Youtube Account Suspended after lodging a dispute

I just thought I'd post to mention that disputing the blocking of a vid isn't without it's pitfalls..... I recently made my first new vid in over a year and posted it on Youtube. It was caught by the recognition program for audio infringement and blocked. Remembering something about this post I searched for it, and armed with Morgandawn's words above lodged a dispute - the vid was allowed online.

Full of 'Fair Use Fervour' I decided to try the dispute process with two out of about five vids that had been blocked over the past couple of years (despite this my account has always said it is in 'Good Standing')- one for audio and one for video. They both came back online and I was *most* happy. Then, yesterday, I got an email stating -

"In response to your dispute of a video identification match, FOX reviewed your video Insatiable - Buffy (Buffy/Angel) and confirmed their claim to some or all of its visual content."

Well, I thought, at least I tried. An hour later I went to my Youtube account to find it had been suspended. No notification of why it has been deleted has been sent to me, although I've now just managed to find a page to ask exactly why it was suspended, and request (rather futilely I expect) that it be reinstated.

So it's back to imeem for me, saying goodbye (well actually not, as I can't) to my Youtube subscribers, and to all the stats and comments for my vids over the past couple of years.

Nice. It worked. And I was just about to give up on youtube. But I kinda like youtube except for all their stupid rules....now I can use them again.

Go Me.

Thank you

Now I just have to find my old vids. Where did I put them again?
