			<description><![CDATA[John - I'm afraid I don't have any solid answers for your questions. DMCA strikes and content ID strikes from global blocks are tracked differently, and there really isn't any public information from YouTube on how they interrelate. As far as I know, the only ways to get features back that are disabled by a global content ID block are either to dispute the content ID claim or delete the video. For DMCA strikes, deleting the video has no effect. Carl - I'm afraid I don't really have time to watch your video and give you an evaluation on whether or not it is fair use. Read the second in my tutorial about determining fair use and then just act on your best guess. A lot of a time it is really a crap shoot whether it's fair use or not, but you are still allowed to claim fair use on YouTube, even if a court might not find fair use if it went to trial.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have few questions. I understand that if you get 3 copyright strikes, your account gets terminated. And if you get a copyright strike or 2 and wait 6 months without another copyright strike, then those strikes disappear. First question, If I have one copyright strike and in a period of 6 months I did not receive another copyright strike but I did get my video blocked world wide, will my copyright-strike disappear after the 6 months? And second question is: If my video got blocked world wide, and this caused some of my features to be blocked on my account, and a dispute of this will be rejected or just not worth doing, how do I receive my features back? Does this operate with a 6 month rule just as copyright strikes?Last question: If I receive 2 copyright strikes and then a video blocked world wide or community violation strike, will they terminate my account??]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Carl, you appear to have the same dilemma I did with my memorial video for my son. Both of us had our videos flagged for incorporating a copyrighted song. In my case it was Westlife's I'll See You Again, in your case the song Holiday Road from the movie National Lampoon's Vacation (funny movie btw.). My video was only removed from viewing in Germany, not the USA or rest of the world. I'm not sure if that counts as a full strike. I'm also not sure if it constitutes fair use since the video's main focuses were on something other than the music. The music was only there as enhancement to the original, non-copyrighted footage. They were not videos about the musical artists such as people who post unauthorized music videos with or without added lyrics. I'm still waiting to get a response from Youtube about my video.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I posted a memorial video of my son who passed away in 2011. The video consisted of a picture slideshow of my son from birth to most recent pictures before his death. The background music was a song by the group Westlife (I'll See You Again), which made this a very touching and personal video for my family and friends, some of whom reside in other states and overseas. The video was only blocked in Germany and I did not become aware of it until just a few minutes ago. Another video had a portion of the song Bleed playing in the background just before a speech by my daughter at the funeral. This video was also flagged but I disputed it under the fair use clause as it was not the main focus on the video and only a portion was played, disrupted by people coughing etc., so I highly doubt that it will cause any harm to the artist, more likely the opposite, free publicity if people happen to inquire about the song if they like it. Nobody is going to copy the song from my video, it would be dumb to get an incomplete and poor quality recording of it.]]></description>
