I've had a couple videos taken down from youtubeWhich not only means I'm still not allowed to be a youtube partner (whatever that may mean), but I also have the threat of losing my whole account hanging over me, which would be a serious pain in the arse considering this stuff is my job now. Both videos would have been perfectly acceptable under a fair-use type of copyright law which we don't have.
I'm pretty sure swedemason has had similar trouble.

I don't get thatLook at DJ ravine, fat aussie barstard, ray william johnson they use copyrighted material all the time and get away with it as a partner.
I would assume your channel is in good standing currently due to viewcount? I know mine was when i had copyright niggles last year

I've spoken to people from youtube and they seem to agree thats its ridiculous but can't do anything about itregarding those other guys I couldn't say, but if they american then they are covered by their own fair use copyright law and if they are very successful they probably have the backing of production companies that can deal directly with youtube. As usual with this business its not what you know but who you pay.

two are australian, one with over 300 restrictions on 4 videos for music use.
It could be an idea to pal up to the fat aussie barstard on there as he has a lot of contacts in youtubes us HQ (and seems to get people partnered at the drop of an email)
