They were just mad at how much traffic a not-for-profit organization was generating.

I retweeted the suggested tweet...kind of looking a bit like, um, spam

I also tweeted a link to the OCR content policy. I'm kind of wondering if the error page for OCR on YouTube is just a standard "Suspended due to drama" message, and maybe they're afraid of copyright infringements due to most content on OCR's channel being video game music/video related. By the way, no I did not read any posts before mine except the intro post. So if someone else already mentioned that, sorry for stealin' your thunder. I have life to get back to and don't have time for the forums much anymore

Probably a preemptive strike for SOPA and PROTECT-IP. This is what the United States Govt. is allowing our internet to become. I'm frustrated beyond words.

Be sure to set the tubes up in parallel. We've seen what happens when one thing breaks in this current series of tubes.

I think we're all aware that sending large quantities of the same message to youtube may not be the best way to prove we aren't spammers. But what alternative exists? Youtube has effectively thrown away hundreds of hours of effort on the part of the ocremix team, defamed them without just cause, and disrupted their ability to function as a non-profit entity. Youtube's actions have severe consequences. To add insult to injury, they've provided no direct means of rectifying their error. Therefore, I believe we are justified in pursuing any reasonable action to correct this grievous mistake.

Related to this, if you're a US citizen please consider signing the petition at http://stopcensorship.org/ -- as people who have a relatively greater understanding of the importance of the Internet, we really need to be leading the charge against these two bills.

I work at a marketing company and today I am checking and confirming our list of clients we have on Google accounts - logins and passwords, and a huge number of them, including my own personal Gmail account, had been disabled - mine seemed to give me the disabled message in error.

I've yet to get to the real bottom of this, but it made me think of OCR's predicament. As Google has been updating so much of their stuff lately, I'm wondering if there are some errors going around. I'm pretty sure thats not what's going on here, but something I thought to share as it might be relevant.
