 I guess this is the right place for it; I'm not fully sure on that but anyways.

I am not sure if anyone here has taken notice but over the last little bit there was been a group (or a single person, its hard to tell.) going around youtube claiming to be part of big companies trying to shut down those with lets plays or game walkthroughs. They demand money or they hack your account/flag all your videos until youtube sees that this person has three videos that were taken down and then without looking at why they were taken down, they simply suspend the account. These people seem to target the most famous accounts and can edit their ip address when an account has been ip banned.

I'm only aware of two big ones, and my two faves being taken down so far is chuggaconroy, who had been suspended because someone claimed copyright to his voice and nintendocaprisun, who was suspended over having a anime character(might be tobi, but thats just rumors), in his background.

Youtube is so ignorant to all this, and once again rumors but Protonjon and deceased crab are next.

 Deceased Crab!? D:

Also, what a loser. It's not like the people themselves are making money off of it. Youtube is the one technically profiting off having them on the site, so the guy is just being a d-bag.

 I heard Azureblade49 was on the list, but not ProtonJon...
I wonder what actions people have been taking in order to stop this.
