About 8 months ago, Thoughtblock stole five videos from Sheldonwh and reposted them to his channel. Sheldonwh sent YouTube a DMCA complaint demanding they take down Thoughtblocks videos. YouTube responded by suspending Sheldonwhs account. They punished the wrong guy. I discussed the incident in this video (Relevant portion starts around 9 minutes 35 seconds):

Corys video entitled Pee was flagged and marked as over 18 when it was on his smpfilms channel. He reposted it on his new channel. Note that he did nothing more flagrant than pour a bottle of apple cider into the toilet and said a few very necessary and appropriate swear words.

2)Write to your Representative and Senator if your account has been unjustly suspended. Im not going to advise you to make a new account, because signing up for a new account while you are suspended is a violation of TOS. However, if you do open up a new account, be sure to make a video reply to a solicitation for input from a member of Congress.

![Blunty3000, Utubedrama, and Censorship: Part 1
This video provides a detailed response to Blunty3000 and his support of the censorship of haters. The issue is not as simple as Blunty suggests, and legitimate free speech could be the inadvertent casualty of an anti-hater campaign. Such a campaign could also backfire and severely hurt Youtube.
Here is a link to Blunty3000s video

New York Times v. Sullivan—The seminal libel law case.
http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/comm/free_speech/nytvsullivan.html
The original passage from NYT v. Sullivan that I bent to fit this situation:
A rule compelling the critic of official conduct to guarantee the truth of all his factual assertions and to do so on pain of libel judgments virtually unlimited in amount leads to a comparable self-censorship. Allowance of the defense of truth, with the burden of proving it on the defendant, does not mean that only false speech will be deterred. [note 19] Even courts accepting this defense as an adequate safeguard have recognized the difficulties of adducing legal proofs that the alleged libel was true in all its factual particulars. See, e.g., Post Publishing Co. v. Hallam, 59 F. 530, 540 (C.A. 6th Cir. 1893); see also Noel, Defamation of Public Officers and Candidates, 49 Col.L.Rev. 875, 892 (1949). Under such a rule, would-be critics of official conduct may be deterred from voicing their criticism, even though it is believed to be true and even though it is, in fact, true, because of doubt whether it can be proved in court or fear of the expense of having to do so. They tend to make only statements which steer far wider of the unlawful zone. Speiser v. Randall, supra, 357 U.S. at 526. The rule thus dampens the vigor and limits the variety of public debate. It is inconsistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
My video discussing the Nick Gisburne affair. Nick was originally told by Youtube that he was being censored for inappropriate content. Youtube later told him that he was being banned forever because of copyright infringement.

Youtubes bungling of the Gisburne affair earned it some really bad press. Watch Michelle Malkins video and pay close attention to the comments underneath it.

This video by Ron, the Washington, D.C. copyright lawyer, discusses the Tur v. Youtube lawsuit. It is absolutely essential to watch this video for people to understand why Youtube should be careful not to get a reputation for censorship.

Update: Trevors Utubedramaqueen account has been banished and he is now posting as Utubedramaking.
