Hi. I'm a Northwestern fan with over 200 highlight videos online. Back in November of 2011, T3 deleted a bunch of my videos from YouTube, which gave my account a copyright strike. They only targeted newer videos at that time, though, and mostly ones that were broadcast on BTN. This time they're going after everything regardless of broadcast channel or era. They're only blocking my videos, which at least is a process that could be undone if they change their minds, but I'm not very optimistic.
Since they went after my YouTube account, I've been uploading everything to vimeo with password protection. I have no idea if that will help, but it does make the videos private and only those who go to my site are able to access the videos. It has probably cut down viewership by 95%, but at least some people still get to see them.
Even though I have never made a cent off of the videos and have probably spent several hundred dollars over the years in capture card upgrades and a handful of aquisitions of misc. games, I have no plans to contact either ZEFT or T3. I didn't think anything good could come from that and I do not want them to catch wind of my vimeo account or website.
I'm very interested to see how this plays out for you, though, and my follow suit if you get them to ease up.
