Indiscriminate Strikes on Youtube (Destiny)

Apparently, something is going all haywire, as a whole bunch of content creators and even BUNGIE themselves are getting strikes and takedowns of content on Youtube.

And there have been casualties as a result.

Woke up this morning to see my channel received further takedowns and claims for uploading Destiny 2 Cutscenes.

My YouTube and Google Account have both been terminated for simply covering your game. @Cozmo23 @DirtyEffinHippy @A_dmg04 @Bungie @BungieHelp pic.twitter.com/DumSABoVO3

That's the only one I know of who has been nuked by DMCA Skynet. Apparently, at first it was the some Youtube Channels acting as a repository for Destiny Music no longer in the game. According the the thread about this on reddit nothing is safe. Videos with "soundtracks, cutscenes and now review and lore" have all been effected apparently.

2 copyright strikes means I can’t post videos for the next two weeks. I just got my second one today!!!!!

At this rate I’m concerned for the channel. Enough strikes and we get deleted!! I’m considering shutting things down until this is sorted.

Hate to @ you all on a Sunday morning this early @DirtyEffinHippy @A_dmg04 @Cozmo23... But this is getting out of hand. I for one am laying the blame at the feet of CSC.

Reminder to everyone else, the community managers and Bungie didn't do this... don't harass them.

Thanks, we have a meeting tomorrow to look into this.

We’re aware of a series of copyright takedowns on YouTube and we're actively investigating. This includes content on our own Bungie channels.

These actions are NOT being taken at the request of Bungie or our partners. Please standby for future updates.
