CNCNZ.com YouTube Channel Suspended Options

[Sonic]

YouTube have apparently suspended the CNCNZ.com YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/CNCNZcom, I received no warnings from YouTube, last time I checked the CNCNZ.com account was in good standing.

This means close to 3 years of video uploads is now gone. Including past projects like Tiberium Legos, LiveWire etc....

Way to fail Youtube idiots...

[Sonic]

I've contacted the YouTube Accounts people, I don't expect access to the CNCNZ.com account to be restored. You don't even get to ask why.

Man I'm pissed off!!

[Nmenth]

You don't even get to ask why.

Must... not... defy... orders... grrk!

[BioBen]

WTF?

Maybe CNCNZ has some inactivity in YouTube lately. It's so odd why most old videos in YouTube cannot be kept for a long time. Will Tiberium Legos videos be saved?

[Sonic]

They don't suspend accounts inactivity. Accounts are suspended for breaches of the terms and conditions, like uploading copyrighted material. The CNCNZ.com account had our own created videos like TIberium Legos, LiveWire and our cool stuff from CommandCOM. We also had trailers from EA for C&C3, KW, RA3 and C&C4 and EA allow their content to be shared on YouTube. In the 2 (almost 3) years I've managed it I've had a total 2 videos removed due to claims form other publishers.

I can only assume it has been suspended in error. I've filed a complaint through the appropriate contacts but it could a long time before I hear anything.

As for Tiberium Legos being uploaded again, I don't have backups of them at all.

[BioBen]

I pressume Zee probly does... I hope.

[Sonic]

Haven't heard from Zee for almost a year now.

[Doctor Destiny]

I've spoken to him on the phone and through letters but he's still without Internet right now. He'll be back, but salvage what you can Sonic.

We can host it here on our server...

As for Tiberium Legos being uploaded again, I don't have backups of them at all.

Well actually sometime ago, I downloaded all Tiberium Legos episodes into FLV format (all high quality from YouTube) and saved them as backups. But with Tiberium Legos cancelled, why are we expected to bring them back up into YouTube again? Besides I still want Zee Hypnotist to finish Tiberium Legos with a series finale.

It's better if Zee uploads them again because he's the one who created the series and has the highest quality videos there.

Hmm... From my experience they usually only ban accounts/block videos that are reported by copyright holders.
Two my videos that I uploaded to YouTube have been blocked since there was some music in them. They are blocked in all countries except in the US, where they have ads. Also, I have the opportunity to challenge the claims of the copyright holders.
I think that since the CNCNZ.com account had so much stuff uploaded, someone (EA or Google) made the decision to ban the account. These reports are most likely done at an entirely different division of EA and mistakes are likely to happen.

I think that the fastest route might be to contact Apoc and he might be able to contact their legal department.

The CNCNZ.com account only had the game trailers that were publicly available and EA allow them to be distributed on YouTube.

The CNCNZ.com account only had the game trailers that were publicly available and EA allow them to be distributed on YouTube.

Sometimes Google (YouTube) thinks they're acting on behalf of the company. Still might be worth to contact APOC (EA) to tell YouTube "Hey, they can host that stuff".

[tchutch]

it is really strange.

Sometimes some of our videos (channel tchutchsaga - as big and old as your channel) are blocked (always at the request of Gametrailers) but i give our EA accreditation in the YouTube claim module and the videos come back.

i hope your channel come back.

[Sonic]

Its gone and never coming back. Once YouTube suspend them that's basically it.

I'm making plans to get the unique videos like Tiberium Legos back online somewhere. Could be a new YouTube channel, could be something else. Weighing up my options and testing things right now.

[purplescrin]

First of all, when a YouTube account gets suspended, how long does it get suspended? Forever? I thought revoking the account might have made more sense for this. I am not sure this activity might have been coincidental with the activities of EA laying off workers and shutting down operations elsewhere.

So if YouTube can't have a CNCNZ channel now, shall it have a new name when Tiberium Legos are back? Were there any other video backups that CNCNZ did have before, Sonic?

And one more thing: does Zee Hypnotist either have Skype, Facebook, Twitter or even a MySpace page?

How could a few layoffs at EA have anything to do with YouTube suspending the CNCNZ.com channel?

Yeah basically forever. Its history. If I try to access it I get this....

So if YouTube can't have a CNCNZ channel now, shall it have a new name when Tiberium Legos are back? Were there any other video backups that CNCNZ did have before, Sonic?

I've decided to open a new YouTube channel, with a slightly different name. It will only be hosting specifically unique content like Tiberium Lego and some of our more recent CommandCom stuff. All of the other videos were C&C3/KW/RA3 trailers, they can be found elsewhere on YouTube and other sources so I won't waste time uploading new copies of them.

And one more thing: does Zee Hypnotist either have Skype, Facebook, Twitter or even a MySpace page?

No idea. I only have an old e-mail address.

[Malevolence]

I think you just email youtube and wait patiently for a response. Such things happened to other youtube subscribers before.
