I had a crash comp deleated from Youtube, but i got an email warning me that the video was deleated due to the FOM.

you are so right

shame that they are keeping great footage from us

A BTCC video of mine got taken off youtube. It was filmed by me with a camcorder at the circuit, but ITV still requested it was taken off. I guess ITV have exclusive rights to footage broadcast from a BTCC event, and me putting my own footage on the internet was breach of this.

I think it's on the back of every ticket that anything filmed at the circuit is copyright to the organisers, and therefore ITV. It's a pretty foolish atitude from the organisations that keep footage off youtube, poor quality 10min max clips on youtube aren't going to stop people going to races, watching races on TV, and buying season reviews.

I think Dorna and the IRL both support fans putting footage on Youtube, and MotorsTV has its own Youtube channel with quite a lot of content on it...

Nope, Dorna removes MotoGP Stuff. raysinberry had his account suspended because of them.

What's also strange, my video of the Hideki Noda flip got blocked by "lgl_tf1" (TF1 = Eurosport), yet they kept all my other Le Mans Videos Online.

Should be pretty obvious by now that they search for videos using keywords, and don't bother to search for all videos in the authors profile whenever they find a video they want to take down.

Hence why videos of races are taken down the following day but leaving up all the other videos of previous races

But some other might own the content, if it's from a dvd/vhs. e.g. Duke.



Really? Just one video? You surely don't just mean the Youtube email with the usual legal blah blah?



In MotorsTV's case for example, even if they have their own channel there, it doesn't mean they wouldn't send DMCA notices about videos uploaded by users and using material from MotorsTV...



TF1 is some French TV channel or company, related to TF1 Group. Lots of other videos removed too, not only Eurosport related:

Above link is some MIT project which tracks down removed videos.



Must be. Also sometimes it is automated process, I guess, hence the file ID matching system.

I got the YouTube e-mail, but also a separate one from ITV itself which was where the legal action was mentioned.

I'm curious how exactly the account banning works. As far as I know Youtube calls it either suspension or termination. Termination is permanent deletion and could also mean IP ban (not only email address ban). Suspension apparently means two things, deletion or temporary deactivation... Mattzel said he got his account back after 3 months it was suspended.

Two of my previous accounts were banned, in both times fifth video removal was the death sentence. But that was before Youtube introduced this:





This system is great because it basically helps videos to stay... previously any video would have been always removed, now this gives option for the content claimer. You can see this screen from My videos -> Video ID matches, if you have matches.

I guess "block / everywhere" means basically removal. What I'm interested is that are these added to the "copyright strike count" at all and is there difference between "block" and "allow" policy regarding this count. Youtube help only says vaguely that repeated infringements can lead to account removal.

Account -> Manage Account --> Account status should show separate strike count given for spamming and other abuse but I think copyright strikes are not shown here.

Anyway account status says "good standing" for me, and I've had two audio infringements (solved by changing the audio track, muting or deleting the video), three "allow and place ads" matches and 2-3 video removals (before this matching system was introduced). Anyone with recent video removal(s), what does this say to you?

Note: anything uploaded on ytube that is speed channel coverage is deleted by Youtube.
all my vids are BBC or some Euro broadcast but Speed ch. is always deleted.

There is plenty of Speed Channel stuff on Youtube...

If the deleted vids were F1 vids, was the copyright claimer FOM or actually Speed?

None of my Speed (ALMS) vids have been deleted...

well, this is interesting




so, I click the video and then this comes up




get your facts right!

Two more of my video's where taken offline. Both None F-1, my second 10K+ views movie of 9-11 and a tribute to dead soldiers with amazing grace. Damn man, it is like there are always hundreds of people all day on YouTube blocking our vids. I had like 15+ vids of several stuff, now just 12.

That's quite interesting Mattzel, I didn't know they did that.

This bit made me lol:

Got this in my inbox today





if they're gonna be like that there won't be that much left on youtube in the near future

Today, YouTube have deleted all of my 1990 F3000 races and 1997 Le Mans video clips since it was broadcasted by Eurosport.

I had an Indycar video online, and I got an e-mail basically just saying that they owned the footage but were all sweet with me having it on youtube..... but the FOM won't let fans be fans
