To Thursday..

What did that entry on my Facebook mean yesterday ??  You know, the one about my youtube videos.. Well simply put.. I broke the rules at YouTube, the copyright infringement rules.. I had some twenty or even more videos that were television studio produced.. They have a warning at youtube about uploading copyrighted material, and one of the things they can do is shut the channel down.. And that wouldn't be a big deal except I had videos there that are memorable type.. Family videos and the like.. Well yesterday I was trying to access my youtube channel and it had this warning page and there was no skirting it.. I was potentially in trouble.. I agreed to jump through the hoops and got to my page.. More than anything else I was to blame and yes those videos were up there for two years and in some cases more.. But they were taking anything that was in violation down.. And they said they have a three strikes rule and so I am looking at my email and there are each of these emails stating this equals one strike.. So I count them and there are like 11 of these emails.. That makes.. eleven strikes.. What does this mean?   Well I go about the task of downloading ALL of my videos, or at least the ones that I am pretty sure aren't on dvd disc.. And as well the family ones with my dad and a few others.. These will all be edited and reuploaded to my secondary youtube site.. As well  as downloading all my videos I deleted all of my videos.. All but the JAFO video.. It has copyrighted  material too but hasn't been flagged yet.. I'm sure that is coming.. The last video I uploaded to that channel was loaded over a year ago, I have been using the secondary site as the main family video site, with the other being reserved for shows from Canada like Seeds and Cracked that both are no longer on tv.. Both are really good shows but seem to be cancelled.. Also I had the Apprentice U.K. on there as well as a few other shows... None of them seemed to be bad to have up.. Until Monday.. But in the process of getting all of my videos off the site there were several that were flagged as copyrighted material infringement, those included the song happy birthday (you know the one you sing before the person blows out the candles..)   And there was one of a tornado out by Peetz that got flagged for We're An  American Band by Grand Funk that was turned way the fuck down but was audible enough in that thirty seconds to cause a flagging..  There was another that I swore was because of rhythmic breathing.. You know, where you can be heard breathing in and out.. So rather than take a chance on that channel I am all but closing it down.. By the end of March there will be no original videos there... It will only contain my subscriptions and play lists.. I will remain linked to it as my YouTube channel on the Roku as well.. I am currently linked to both YouTube channels on the roku, one directly the other with the subscriptions..   So. The videos I took off will be re edited and uploaded to my secondary channel shortly, and it will take over being  my primary  channel..

So that's what that meant.. in other news...
