The account is restored and active again. We achieved this outcome by documenting the platform errors and presenting the timeline of correspondence directly to their legal team. I am shifting my focus to monitoring future copyright claims to ensure this remains a permanent resolution.

To be updated. I\'m writing this Petition to express my unhappiness regarding the unreasonable suspension of Coolsmurf\'s Youtube account. According to his domain blog, http://coolsmurf.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/goodbye-people/ His account was suspended without any \"warnings\". Coolsmurf forwarded to me the warning emails that YT sent him. All 3 warnings came on Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 12:39 AM. Then his account was suspended. Well, i personally don\'t think that he had time to react, or to delete the violated videos. I\'ve attached the emails for your reference. From: YouTube Date: Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 12:39 AM To: coolsmurf YouTube - Broadcast Yourself help center | e-mail options Dear Member: This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by SBS International, Inc. claiming that this material is infringing: Star King #65 - Blind Pianist Ye Eun & Connie Talbot (en): http://www.youtube.com/watchv=bppXP91b4nE Please Note: Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account.

We are approaching one thousand signatures and this threshold is essential for the formal inquiry I am submitting to YouTube legal. Focus your efforts on increasing the current count before I send the documentation packet to their policy office.

Three warnings at the exact same minute? Thats not fair at all. How is someone supposed to manage that.

Ridiculous. They just deleted years of hard work without giving him a chance to even look at the emails. Fix this.

This is total nonsense. He was giving us content we couldnt find anywhere else. YouTube needs to stop being so trigger happy with these bans.
