Man, I lost my precious childhood videos after "saving" on the cloud. Google deleted it because of some seconds of the background music of AC/DC's on the radio.

And there is no way to get them back? Completely deleted?

  I can play it on a small window on the youtube editor page. But I could not find a way to download it back yet.

Please elaborate, was this Google Drive?

  Oh, sorry.. it is on Youtube. But I will never trust in any Google service again, as I did.

Were these on youtube? I wasn't aware that Google did the DMCA takedowns complaints for the rights holder - I thought the rights holder had to make a complaint, and that would necessitate them being somewhere the rights holder could view them.

  Yes, youtube. Now I can't download it.

You played AC/DC on multiple videos, and deleted all your originals and other copies after uploading it to YouTube?
- edpichler 7y ago
  No, it just blocked my videos where there were, at least, a few minutes of music on the background.

  Oh, now I understood your question. I lost my physical backup, and now I can't recover it from Google.

Flickr lost all my photos when it was acquired by Yahoo, so I'm with you on this one... The cloud is useful... but don't trust it too much.

  I've learned to replace "the cloud" with "someone else's computer". Always worth repeating to yourself when you're considering uploading sensitive documents or something you can't afford to lose.

I wrote "deleted" but the truth is that I can see it on a small window, after navigating on my upload history to the very past, on some private Youtube account details page, and I can't download it anymore. I tried many many times. It's already have been years it is blocked from downloading it. I will try again soon if I can find a browser plugin that can help me with this.
