Welcome to The TV Shelter.

We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible.

However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique.

And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums.

And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried.

We hope you enjoy your visit.

Hi digger, Well first it says when I try and login

Your account has been permanently disabled.

This was the last email from youtube today and no email about my account being suspended. So I think it is because of this copyright, for the video thay talk about above.


Dear Member:
This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by Top Pop BV claiming that this material is infringing:

Top pop videos 1984. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg940rRkuws

Please Note: Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account. In order to avoid future strikes against your account, please delete any videos to which you do not own the rights, and refrain from uploading additional videos that infringe on the copyrights of others. For more information about YouTube's copyright policy, please read the Copyright Tips guide.

If you elect to send us a counter notice, please go to our Help Center to access the instructions.

Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation of copyright infringement by using this process.
Sincerely,
YouTube, Inc.



Why can't the stupid people at youtube, just remove the videos they want removed but no, they have to delete the whole account. :angry:

I don't know what it is with these companys but they don't like us injoying retro tv do they.


I have set this up just to let people know and with only two of my videos, so they know who I am http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=CentralSouthReturns

The same thing happened to me last year. It just deleted my account because I uploaded BBC stuff like Only Fools and Horses clips and I have not bothered opening another account but still go on the site regular. I hate when they delete videos especially good ones. Sorry to here that Central South.

This is not on.

It seems that the complainant is based in the Netherlands, and is a company who owns the rights to the Dutch television series "Top Pop".

However, the file they objected to was not one of their productions, it was a clip of a British TV programme made by Thames TV in 1984 for a British audience and was not connected to the Dutch television series of the same name.

This is totally unjust.

Sorry to hear about that CS, your channel was one of the best things on YouTube.

I see that YouTube are still happy to have hundreds of Viacom clips on their site in spite of the enormous lawsuit thrown at them. Quite frankly, being told off by them for copyright violation is a bit like George Best telling you to lay off the drink.

It seems that this firm in Holland have done what a lot of firms do, and have scoured the site for any clip containing the words "Top Pop" and made a blanket complaint to youtube.

Nintendo did a similar thing to retro gaming sites by searching for the words "Donkey Kong". The "World Of Spectrum" site got a narky mail from Nintendo's lawyers telling them that they were infringing Nintendo's copyright on a currently available game, and that they faced legal action. Fortunately, when WOS pointed out that the version they had was for a defunct platform (ZX Spectrum), was not actually owned by Nintendo (having been produced by Ocean Software), and that they were trying to preserve this version for future generations as a historical piece, good sense prevailed and Nintendo laid off.

Have you tried pointing out to youtube that the clip in question is nothing to do with the Dutch outfit?

Bloody hell! If they suspend everybody who's uploaded material for copyright reasons, we'll be left with a few home videos of some bloke's dog taking a sh*te in the park, or a badly executed (and therefore unrecognisable) rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by some spotty geek!

For God's sake, instead of condemming and penalising those who resurrect otherwise unabtainable classic TV from Beta tapes, they should be actively encouraging it.

Challenge it CS...don't let them get away with it! :angry:

Thanks for all your support.. I don't really know who to sort this with. Youtube is not easy getting hold of them. I did send a strong email today about it but they are so slow to reply.

Not sure who I would need to speak to about being the wrong copyright holder for that video.

Anyway I don't think it will work as youtube make it hard to stand up to what others say about copyright.

Does anybody know the official youtube channel Because I will post on there and see if they will listen

I think we need to set up a boycott of some sort, it is the only way they will take note

Right I don't know if this will be any good, or the thick staff at youtube will take note but I found there channel and have put my strong views about it and youtube. Hope I got it right. lol

This is what I posted

Youtube are evil bastards. They suspend people's accounts on false copyright requests form, tv and production companies.

I have lost over five hundered videos because the stupid thick staff at youtube. They recived an infringing copyright request for a video on my channel, from a firm in Holland thats thinks I was infringing it's copyright. They are wrong and don't own the copyright but it has a simmler name. The copyright is owned by a uk tv firm called "thames" they do not exist like that anymore.

Youtube Think thay are judge jury and executioner. There is no easy way to contact youtube and youtube make it hard to contact them, so you can't argue your case.

If youtube are going to recklessly suspend people's accounts, with no proper and fair way to appeal, then I ask all members of this video website, to boycot the crap youtube site. Youtube are nothing without it's members.

My original channel was called Central South and My videos was of Retro TV from UK television. 80's and 90's. I had it for almost a year.

I hope you will all support me on this, This is not just about my account but many other people have had the same done to them, by the incompetents at youtube
.

This is the link to the official youtube channel

CS, I freely admit that I had my hands slapped by YouTube for uploading four public information films made by the DOE in Northern Ireland, which were removed because of copyright infringement, but to have your entire account indefinitely suspended due to one solitary complaint is utterly ridiculous! In the same manner as Digger and others here, I really enjoyed the clips you found among your hoard of Betamax tapes, and I fully appreciate the time and effort it must've taken on your part to both capture and upload them.

However, even though you had your reasons for not wanting to pass on any of what you found to other websites, which I fully understood, the offer is still there if you wish to consider TMF Extra as an alternative. Again, I stress that we don't pass off other people's contributions as our own, and you'll be fully credited for any clip(s) we decide to upload. The decision is naturally yours, of course.

Sorry to hear Youtube or (uselesstube) cutting off your account without checking what the clip was all about.
I can say that TMF have given me 100% credit for the clips I have donated to their TV site.
Don't let Youtube win, place your clips on a new site where they will be enjoyed after all the hard work which you have taken to do.
However putting them back up on Youtube for them to take off again isn't worth the time CS.

I received this reply from youtube today after my strong email. Looks like one of them script replies.

Have a nice day,

Well looks like I will be banging my head against a brick wall with youtube. So theres no point complaining to them, as they don't give two sh*ts.

So if your account get's suspended, you will ether have to setup an new one or find another website.

Well if I had a very fast upload I would just re-upload them again to "uselesstube"

Anyway I have set up a new channel on a video site called dailymotion, it is based in france. But they are also strict on copyright and won't let you upload videos if they think it is copyrighted, as I have found out. I tried to upload the ITV chart show special from 1989 and it refused it. It said, I had to contact them if I had permission to use the video, or I have the copyright :rolleyes: It also say if I was to re-upload the video, my account would be canceled.

Well I will see how it go's but I just hope that if I get all my videos back up, they don't do a youtube. So will Upload all my videos here first

Here is my channel http://www.dailymotion.com/CentralSouth

I might have to upload some back to the crap youtube, if I can't upload them to dailymotion.

By the way, google video is no good plus google own youtube.
