株式会社アートバンク
Ah looks like I wasn't the only victim. Everyone else been getting their youtube videos deleted by 株式会社アートバンク too? The emails have been streaming in on and on the whole of yesterday and today. Even fanvids and super super old clips like C no Arashi. Seems like that company is only stamping out on Arashi though(so far), even my tensai videos are gone. But my Smap and other videos still remain intact (so far). What is this 株式会社アートバンク anyway? Art bank? Huh? Who gives them the copyrights of Arashi? Shouldn't it be the TV stations or Johnnys Entertainment warning us?
Damn!!! All my favourites and subscriptions all gone!!!

you know what, this got me thinking... does YT even verify the authenticity of whoever files a complaint? I mean, how sure they are that this Art Bank Ltd., really owns the copyright of Arashi?
If it was JE or even other Japanese TV Stations, then i would understand. And why are they only targeting arashi vids?
i smell something really fishy here..
I was reading how to counter notice or whatever and it seems a little difficult.
Who are these Art Bank people anyway?
ok, so i did a little google-ing (is that even a word?XD) and found this and this.
o__O
oookaaayyy~ so it's a company that's engaged in illustrations!
.................
(whaaat?)
*brain explodes*
that's EXACTLY my point.
however you analyze it (based on the links above) there is NO WAY they are connected with JE or other Japanese TV Stations (unless it's a dummy company by JE, w/c i highly doubt...)
Is this some sort of a sabotage? i would like to think so. =.=
ahh. gomen.
i stand corrected. koon pointed it out for me.
it's INDEED Johnny's. ><
check the post from tracey.
If it wasn't for YouTube and those uploaders I wouldn't have none about Arashi, become and fan and subsequently spend lots of my money buying their official merchandise and stuff.
yeah, from what i read from diff blogs, they're also deleting vids of other groups as well. I think they started with arashi since it has the most vids in youtube (compared to other JE groups).
