To Whom It May Concern,
We, the underwritten, demand that YouTube reinstates all material uploaded on Sami Yusuf's Official Personal YouTube page.
Sami Yusuf has been involved in a long-running dispute with his former record label, Awakening Worldwide, as a result of which he has left them and no longer wishes to associate himself with them. He has clearly stated this in numerous televised and published interviews.
If YouTube decide to ignore this petition, as fans of Sami Yusuf, we demand an explanation as to what makes them act on Awakening Worldwide's requests, when in fact the videos in question, most notably that of Sami Yusuf's track "You Came To Me", recorded and filmed after he left them, had nothing to do with Awakening Worldwide.
Please act appropriately and look at the facts and conduct sufficient investigation before removing videos that have nothing to do with those claiming copyright ownership.
Sincerely
Fans of Sami Yusuf

This is so unfair. Sami owns his own work and youtube is just bullying him because of a label dispute that he already left. Put them back up!

YouTube needs to stop pulling things just because a record label throws a fit. Let the man keep his own content up.
