I lost my whole You Tube accountbut to be fair, that was simply because I used music without permission. On the '3 strikes' rule I was got by Sam Cooke, Prince and the Drifters. Warners block stuff but don't really give me a hard time over it.
Perhaps more interestingly, to get around this issue I started to sing the songs myself, only to find I was STILL in trouble because people had copyrighted the arrangement! They don't ban them but they get the advert revenue, which I suppose is fair enough.
I did have mails from Willie Nelson, Marillion and Jona Lewie all saying they didn't mind at all, and Willie Nelson even put my video on the front page of his site.
