It's all too unfortunate that most people start caring about backups from that one time when they needed them but didn't have them.
- mcguire 4y ago"YouTube's policy is that an account is disabled after three "copyright strikes" against them. When you get one copyright strike, you get a warning. However, because I had more than three clips from "Java Head," I immediately got more than three strikes..." Nice. IIRC, "education" is specifically mentioned as fair use.
