My friend who got his account deleted, that was over some Neil Young video he uploaded. He'd never done that before. And I guess he wasn't as clever as your 'friend' about not putting the artist's name, etc. in the title, where... copyright-infringement-seeking robots can easily pick it up? That's what I'm thinking. But I'm sure that theory wouldn't account for all cases. I remember sometime last year 'they' ('the evil corporate ones', whatever) started cracking down on youtubers who were teaching guitar 'lessons' using specific songs. That was kind of a big deal for a while and then I never heard anything more of it. I think it was connected to guitar tab sites getting taken down as well. There were threats of legal battles... I think my life got too crazy to pay attention for awhile so I didn't follow it... but I think it went nowhere because it was so ridiculous. Actually I think I need to look that up.
