YouTube gave me the b& hammer

| 3 Comments

So you might recall a little project of mine known as “Classic Hits by Microsoft Songsmith.”

It is no more. YouTube deleted my account. Interestingly, they did not do it because of the Classic Hits By Microsoft Songsmith. They did it because Major League Baseball forced them to. Why?

In April of last year, I uploaded a short clip of Aki Iwamura hitting a game-winning home run against the Red Sox. It sat there, quietly labeled “Aki” for more than a year, until “MLB Advanced Media” found it and brought the YouTube banhammer down upon my head.

So that’s why none of my YouTube videos are working. Maybe eventually I’ll have the time to re-upload them and change all the URLs. Maybe.

Please, please, please find the time and a method of (re)posting these works of art so that we may download them (audio only is fine) to share and compare. Thanks.
