Why videos were removed.

I only kept my identity a secret on this channel so I would not use the subscriber base here to enhance my own. On my own channel I had uploaded several videos telling my audience to come here and subscribe. Thank you to those who did.

On my own channel I uploaded a 45 minute video refuting the claims made by another user. I refer to him as Chicken Little because I do not like to attack other users. In this video Chicken Little proclaimed the sky was falling and that YouTube would soon be closing our accounts and making us viewers only. He also stated that Partners who fail to sell enough advertizing would be given the boot. Sadly people would rather take the side of Chicken Little than anyone who is defending YouTube and my channel began to get flags.
In order to spare this channel I did several things. First I deleted the offending video. Second I removed the banners and links from my channel back to this one. Third I went over here and deleted my videos. This was done as a peace offering I guess and the flagging seems to have stopped.
I have decided not to reupload my videos because most everyone has already seen them, and many disagreed with what I said. However I stand by my work. To those who did not see the videos here is a summary. To some, corporations are just greedy and copyright laws are stupid. Thus they complain when a video is taken down for copyright violations.
To some YouTube is just wrong in suspending people for violations of Terms of Service, even though they agreed to obey those rules when they created their account. Now YouTube is wrong in that they refuse to tell you what rule you broke, however if you just read the rules you can see some simple guidelines. Don't steal other people's videos or post copyrighted material. Don't trash someone else's religion, Don't use sexual themes in your videos. It is not a free speech issue. This is a website that is owned by Google's shareholders. If you want to post that kind of stuff do it on some other website.
