SL-LOST’s YouTube Channel Has Been Suspended

In Preparation for Season 5, In Preparation for Season 6, SL-LOST Podcast, Website Announcements View Comments

With over 10 million total views, 9,300 subscribers and hundreds of LOST videos, YouTube has decided to suspend SL-LOST’s channel. “Why?” you may ask. According to YouTube, the funny ABC House promo featuring Michael Emerson and CUATRO’s amazing LOST chessboard promo narrated by Terry O’Quinn violated YT’s Community Guidelines. Ridiculous.

Here are a couple of screencaps of the notifications I received this week.


I have no intention of creating another channel. Most of the old “In Preparation” videos are available on iTunes (the rest will be uploaded soon). All the new videos (official promos, sneak peeks, music videos, etc) will be directly posted here.

YouTube, you suck.

    This is terrible news. You were easily my most viewed person on youtube. Two videos gets you banned is unreal. Why were those two so horrible anyways?

  • whataboutyou?
    Can't you just make another channel with another name and re-upload your old videos (besides the ones with copyright issues) to that new channel? Your videos are awesome! Personally my favorite is "in preparation for season 5" - Ghosts
    Btw, I love this website. Specially the fact that you can see news about the cast or the series itself without spoiling anything.

    I just logged out of youtube and deleted it from my bookmark. Won't be going back.
  • GianniC
    Well this totally blows....
    I am so sorry to hear this Campetin, I will miss your videos terribly! since I dont have itunes :/
    hopefully everything will turn out fine, maybe the account isnt permanently banned
  • Bane03
    yeah, I wondered what happened to your channel. I was just about to watch your "in preparation" videos for the 20th time, when I realised they weren't there. :(((((
  • TimeforTravel
    Sorry man, that sucks. Could you please upload the prep videos to a more accesible place then Itunes? Just another youtube or Dailymotion? Or just somewhere at SL-lost?
  • This is pure bullsh%t!
    There are other options though;
    Create an account on vimeo.com, metacafe.com or dailymotion.com
  • That's a shame. I've seen many a good channel fall to the hammer of YouTube. We need a new Internets... this one seems to have lost its balls to corporate.
  • Rendezvous
    At least you made it to season 6, 6 months from now that channel will not have anything new to post....but it will be missed!
  • Thanks for the support guys.
  • There are ways you can dispute when they complain about your videos. If you get a notice from YT about a copyright complaint, go to dispute and follow these steps:

    1) Go to "My Videos".
    2) Select "Resolve Copyright" on the video you are having copyright issues with. OR, go to the video itself and choose "resolve copyright" from there.
    3) Scroll down and pick the option "I want to learn more about this dispute process".
    4) Scroll down and pick the option "Take me to the dispute form".
    5) Pick option #2 and PASTE the following statement into the text bar next to it;

    "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."

    6) Fill out the rest of the info on the page. Use your REAL name where it asks for it. Choose "Continue" when all information has been filled out.
    7) Scroll down on the next page and select "Submit dispute".
  • I can't do that because I don't have access to my account :(
  • I know. Hopefully the suspension won't last long, but that was more for a "future reference" I believe my "Who's the Family Guy?" video (along with a couple other LOST vids I made) were disabled, but using that, I was able to get that issue fixed and they're fine.

    As for the suspension, I would think it's temporary....otherwise I would expect them to say it's "banned". I like how sites like YouTube don't have an option to contact them for complaints....bunch of chickens.
  • Jakehyde
    Well, so much with the free information... But no need to despair, right? There are other ways of doing it. The Universe has its way of course correcting these things :)
  • omelette
    so sorry, your "origins" video was beautiful. youtube sucks and they provide no customer service to complain to.
  • manderlaying
    Sorry Campetin. We all love your videos. Please find a loophole! ;)
  • Aitz
    Lo siento muchísimo tío. Tu canal era una pasada, y tus videos los mejores sobre Lost. De verdad que ha sido un chasco.
  • Wow. They do suck. Sorry to hear this. :(
  • TheODI
    That sucks guys, this has happened to me many times. YouTube's policies are totally out of whack.

    I don't even bother anymore.
  • Sorry to hear that mate. I lost my channel 2 years ago and never bothered again. Technically they are in their right but to shut down the whole channel sucks :(
