12.18.2012 = from over one million views to 373.700 "lost" in a few hours.
I am sorry if are you reading these lines, while learning that Mike Francis, or some other video, is no more.
Starting today, I'm forced to erase many videos (11.29.2012) as I suddenly received, no less then two strikes in one month! To secure this channel, I had to let them go. Mike Francis will sadly, no longer reside on this channel.
I wish youtube would evolve its copyright approach, naturally, combined with content owners and allow, a sort of scheme if you will" to preserve something as information. I'm sure many would accept downgrading uploaded audio/visual content (say, 22khz mono with low res video) simply to preserve uploaded videos.
Specially when served data is meant - I repeat myself - to be in purpose of information, rather then jukebox cause
Respectfully yours in authentic sounds
