YouTube - Account Closed?!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #56606 of 76346 |
I tried to log on to our YouTube account today and got the message "Your
account has now been permanently disabled."

It was our Daily Vlog account, which is a 5-minute-per-day vlog from the
office. Pure vlog -- just us talking about various topics. Couldn't possibly
be anything there they want to shut down, we don't even deal with sensitive
issues. Usually we talk about our lives, or what's going on in entertainment
or tech. And there certainly can't be any intellectual property issues,
unless someone patented "having a conversation on a sofa" and I am not aware
of it.

You can see for yourself what the daily vlog is about by checking it out at
http://thedailyvlog.com. You can see there is no reason why YouTube would
want it removed.

Anyone else had this happen to them? I'm certainly glad we don't rely on
their as our main means of distribution. In fact, I may pull down our other
accounts. No point building an audience there just to have them carelessly
destroy it.

Right that's exactly the problem. We talk a lot about rights and such, but all of that is built on these crappy TOS agreements. Even if you own your own site,...
