Youtube banned the archivist Jeff Quitney a few years ago. This particularly stings because a lot of wikipedia articles still cite and link to videos he upload

  There was a Danish church organist I came across on YouTube, who had worked his way through pretty much every Danish hymnal/school song book, and many Swedish and Norwegian ones too. He'd been at it for years. Then suddenly he was gone. I assume one too many of the songs he'd played must have had been too recent, and got copystriked. It's pretty sad that even marginal, plainly non-commercial work of an archival nature isn't left alone.

I bet whatever songs got him banned were in the public domain, but ContentID thought it sounded too much like a copyrighted recording of the same song. This sort of thing happens all the time to musicians who upload themselves playing classical songs. It's infuriating.
