AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! - or why it sucks to be a fanvidder
Yes, yes, it really sucks to be a fanvidder. I think this might be interesting to other vidders on my f-list.
I just told periwinkle27 it yet (though in an open post) but I don't think I will keep uploading new videos on YouTube. Although, trying to find another streaming site is even harder but more to this further down my post.
So why do I want to move from YouTube? Since last year, I've gotten ten (10!) copyright claims/ copyright infringement notices for my videos. The oldest dates back to the 28th of April last year, the latest I got 9 days ago.
This are the videos involved:
CSI - Chemistry -> completely blocked, I can't access the comments anymore and have no chance to mute the audio to at least read the comments again
CSI - As Lovers Go -> stays up unharmed, just advertisement next to it
Numb3rs - Brothers under the sun -> I deleted it (before I knew about the "mute" option) and lost the comments of course
Numb3rs - Get off of my back -> same as above
Man from Uncle - Mama told me not to come -> had to mute the audio to keep the comments
NCIS - Love in the 3rd degree - > same as above
Criminal Minds - Burn the evidence -> same as above
Criminal Minds - Till I make it alone -> same as above
Criminal Minds - Stockholm syndrome -> stays up unharmed, just advertisement next to it
Criminal Minds - Fine without you -> video is blocked in some countries, except for that, it plays in others -> here's what I finally got from YouTube for this (which had'n been there till I say it today)

Some of those procedures/ handling of the situation even changed during time because I remember the MFU video first also had advertisement next to it (which is so right and fine of course) before it was blocked completely.
BTW, this is what a copyright notice looks like

So you probably understand why I don't want to upload anymore to YouTube especially since the music companies got even crankier regarding fanvidders. I already uploaded all videos to mediafiles.
Criminal Minds: click here
CSI: click here
Man from U.N.C.L.E.: click here
Movies: click here
NCIS: click here
Numb3rs: click here
So that was easy (although I had to upload some files more than once because of a slow connection). But the harder part is to find a streaming site. My first thought: Imeem. I heard it should be good but unfortunately I can't stream from that site. I don't know if that has something to do with the browser I use (Opera, neither Explorer nor Firefox work anymore on my pc).
My next thought: dailymotion, since a lot of Daily Show/Colbert Report vidders moved there since the Viacom YouTube Purge. I tried to upload videos to my account there since yesterday, but some of the videos have been rejected right after the upload like all three CSI videos, the Pinky and the Brain one (WTF?), again the Brothers under the sun one and the MFU Drive my car. Sigh, and I haven't even uploaded the Criminal Minds ones yet.
My last idea: Photobucket, since you can also upload videos even though the quality is inferior then, but: you can stream them. So I created a new account there, but couldn't get any videos uploaded yet (dunno if this is because of my slow connection right now).
Argh, this really sucks. Fellow vidders, any suggestions?
