  30. Youtube is getting ridiculous with the nanny state tactics. I joined when it first started, and it was pretty good.. a nobody like me could get 600 views in the first 15 minutes after upload because every new video was displayed on the front page until displaced by other uploads. Then Google took over in Jan 2007, and my views went to ZERO overnight. Now, if you wanted views, you had to become a Youtube Partner and pay the cost of a house to get in on the action. Then the copyright crap started in the past 5-6 years. Videos, old ones, even ones that used open source music started getting content matches and copyright claims. One day, I uploaded a video with a Classical music soundtrack that I performed on orchestral synthesizers. Within hours, the Harry Fox Agency filed a claim against me. How was this possible? The composer had been dead for 150 years, and it was MY performance. I input the score, set up the instrument patches and tweaked the whole thing to sound like the London Symphony performed it. Needless to say, I countered that claim, and I won. That time. Then there was the time I was testing a live stream back in April. On a screen in the background was a popular anime playing. No audio, just picture. Within minutes, Youtube shut down the stream and revoked my streaming privileges. There was no way to appeal. The block was said to be 90 days. It was 117 days before I could stream again. It was during this period that I moved to Twitch. Now I live stream over there. And I'm working on my own streaming server so that I never have to have a stream shut down by some corporation that didn't like what I was broadcasting. I'm planning to have an audiophile society meet this spring, and there will be four live streaming cameras throughout the theater and shop areas. We will play short clips of original and copyrighted material and music. Youtube would have a fit, but again, we're planning to stream this on our own server, so there will be no DRM and no copyright police monitoring with a kill switch. Youtube had it's heyday. Now they are good with technical quality, but their heavy handed interference with our ability to use the platform has made Youtube irrelevant in the world of First Amendment freedom.
