It was a wise decision for me to stop uploading to YT...

Cause my friend wasn't so lucky, his account just got suspended all cause he likes to remix and make AMVs constantly.

He also unfortunately had videos that were non-copyrighted (random life moments captured on cell phone video) taken down in the process.

Let that be a lesson to all AMV makers, YT is no longer your domain for that. At best, search for an alternative site to host your AMVs.

And just in case you were wondering, here's the EFF's guide to YT takedowns.

Also, your personal life videos and your remix videos should be on separate sites. For instance, personal videos can be on Vimeo and AMVs can be on Viddler.
