YouTube Trouble

Guys, I have some serious issues with YouTube’s copyright policies. I checked my account while I was away from Puerto Rico and learned somebody had flagged a playlist I’d recently created and every single video on it due to copyright infringement. However, I’m not making any profit, legal or otherwise, from this and other uploads, and neither am I plagiarizing or taking credit from another’s work: all I’m doing is sharing doujins and video game remixes.

Is there any law in the United States (I am an American citizen, after all) that specifies whether these activities really are copyright infringement or not, and that carefully delineate what are my rights and duties in these matters? If so, how good are my chances of appealing the decisions and getting those strikes revoked? I’m one strike away from losing my account, and I’d prefer that didn’t happen. Please share any advice you have: it might be my only chance of beating the system at its own game.

Unless they’re remixes you’ve done yourself, I think you’re out of luck.

:this:

The "crap" some Youtube users put in their video(s)-description about Fair Use doesn’t really protect their asses that much (= videos might still get removed). @OP – Information that you might find slightly useful, given your predicament: the material/albums you call doujins are still the property of someone else, legally-wise, to speak the truth, even if the stuff you’ve uploaded was shared for free, at some point, that alone wouldn’t entitle you to reupload it. Artist permission’s a bitch, you basically shot yourself in the foot.

EDIT:
Want to make a desperate attempt to keep your account? Delete the content you’ve uploaded (remixes and doujins, I mean).

Then why can I find elsewhere in YT the exact same uploads that got me those copyright strikes? Here’s an example:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFB2350D380A6F789

I shared those same songs (albeit from a different source) in my YT domain. The other uploader claims to have gotten two copyright strikes, but these messages could be quite old. The way I see it, these copyright policies are so arbitrary: they leave some uploads alone, but zero in on others. Either the whole process is done by erratic machines, or a human staff riddled by bureaucracy (we all know how <effective> those are…). I’ll just have to lay low and weight my options.

Tube giving you trouble? That’s okay. Sometimes it’s just the corrosion in the aluminum.

A simple fix may just be to compound it. I mean, it may not be a slick finish, but regular polishing may only grind in the corrosion. For more details page me in the morning.
