I have a dream. I want it to become true. I want to be a big YouTube star. I mostly need EA's help with this one. YouTube has changed it's policies, and videos are being deleted by the second now. I do simming on a gaming channel and EA, I have heard a few companies are letting a few people upload their gaming videos. My gaming commentary videos are being deleted as well. I feel like YouTube and punched me so hard, that my sternum broke. Now with these copyright infringement problems, I will never be able to become a star; all my simming videos are being filed as copyright infringement! Can you give people a pass to upload Sim videos on their channels? Such as Lifesimmer, Nicole K. games, Piinksim, Arabella, etc. All are videos aren't being successfully uploaded do to not having a pass, and because of YouTube's mean nature. YouTube was acting like it in in jeopardy, but really it is the gameplay commentators that have little subscribers are being beaten down by these rude and harmful policies. If I was ever to get a pass, I would be in debt to EA. I do buy your games! I do buy sims! They are definitely worth the money!I want to have a gaming channel, but now without a pass it will never happen. Please take notice, Sim Gurus and help? Gaming is my only hobby and I have to upload or I will become bored in seconds. I don't want to not be able to upload. My Christmas wish is to be allowed to upload to YouTube! I can't do that anymore! Sorry to bring the crisis here but it's all I can do. Help me, please! I feel like crying!

You failed to read my entire post. I said I wanted a pass, so they could say people can upload these videos without them being removed.
YouTube is a jerk and haven't sent me a notice yet, I found out with detective work, and no copyright music whatsoever. All it was was that I was recording a game.
EA is not going to give you a free pass, people upload videos all the time. The issue is the content in your uploads and you need to figure out what the problems are and fix them yourself.
Before this happened I had carefully read all the rules and I did not violate any. YouTube is being very strict. And no, I am not yelling at EA. I was saying maybe they could say to YouTube that sim videos can be uploaded and not be removed from the public.
Personally, I don't blame YouTube for changing their policies. They're just trying to cover their own rears. It usually happens after something goes wrong; so blame whichever person screwed up to land YouTube in trouble.
They aren't going to do this for you. If all of those other videos are still up it is obviously a problem with something in your videos. I still suggest you contact YouTube support and find out what the problem is. Even carefully reading the rules won't stop your videos from being yanked if they are found to violate TOS. Find out what the violation was for, fix it, and reupload. I avoid YouTube all together and post my videos and stories to my private blog. I would suggest that over YouTube if you can't find a valid reason for your videos being yanked.
Detective work? I saw that in my channel a CAS video was missing in the playlist. I viewed my channel publicly, and noticed some newer videos were also missing. My CAS video was uploaded months ago and showed up before too. I looked in the video manager, and the videos were still in there. The videos went missing on the 10th in this December. Then today, I saw a video uploaded by someone that said YouTube had changed it's copyright policies. It was uploaded on the 11th. I watched my videos, nothing violated the rules. I even made my channel for any age. When I finished watching the policy video this other gamer had made, I knew this had to be the reason my videos haven't been shown to the public.
Edit: I am always on my email attached to my YouTube account. No email. I checked my YouTube inbox. No message. I checked my channel's Google+ page. No notice. Every single thing attached to my YouTube to get notices, I got nothing.
If the support is a phone call I am not doing it. If it is like an email, sure I will do it. I can't find it so if is like an email I need a link.
Oh I would gladly blame the idiots on YouTube who break rules to be criminals. I also have a few big fans that would be heartbroken if I stopped uploading.
Edit: found one that explains what going on. The good news is some game developers are coming forward to say they do not agree with it but who knows if EA will have the same stance
I don't have the e-mail but I'm sure you can find it. And you should seriously look into a private blog to get around all this nonsense.
I would gladly, but the poor gamer had that policy notice for the other gamers removed. In fact, all his recent videos that were there earlier today have been completely removed. No trace.
I told you I have already searched for it and found nothing. I also can't find any blogs about the changes yet.
first contact youtube directly for an explanation for removing some of your video - try to do it in an email exchange since the written word is best in such matters and also contact EA and see if you can get their official stance on the situation
i did find these in the topic
http://www.geekosystem.com/youtube-copyright-change/
there's also this http://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-ubisoft-and-capcom-offer-support-after-huge-spike-in-youtube-copyright-claims/1100-6416659/
basically try get as much info as you can
No notice. I even looked at the video on the manager, no little reason why it isn't showing up. But as I said in an earlier reply, there was an older video that has shown up for a few months now and has started to only show up in the video manager. I might have to try re-uploading. I am not going down without a fight.
Thanks a bunch for the links ceejay. I don't even allow ads to play along my videos but yet they still get the copyright thing, but without a notice. Now I want to ask EA to do what other companies are doing, like what Ubisoft and Silver Games are doing.
Therefore you should be able to figure out this issue on your own. If the above information doesn't help, go to the bottom of the you tube home page and click on copyright where there are other topics you can check out, or click on their policy and safety link which is also at the bottom of the page.
Also if you click on copyright there is a section with a link titled determine what happened to your video. I learned all this within a few minutes of being on the site, so you being a user should be able to navigate and figure out where your trouble lies.
If I own a copyrighted work and you use it, I can go to YouTube and file a complaint and YouTube will pull it.
YouTube also allows copyright holders to use automated systems to file complaints. These are highly sophisticated, for instance, if you own a copyright to a song and I put the song on YouTube and speed it up, there's a good chance the automated system will be able to tell.
On the flip side, these automated systems make mistakes and can be abused as well.
