YouTube deletes Ron Paul’s 2008 channel – Apr 30 2012

Cjkusch

YouTube is notorious for this sort of thing..I don’t really know if i have anything to suggest, unfortunately..

NewWorldLessOrders

boycott ‘em….hopefully, someone has an obsessive amount of retro Paul videos from ’08…spread the word that this is going on, more people know the better!

That;s true. it comes up like this:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ronpaul2008
Gives a 404 error. File not found.
But the Obama 2008 youtube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/obama2008
Is still up.

RonPaul2008dotcom user is gone as well stating above reasons “third party copyright complaint”

Exactly. This is utterly ridiculous. Why is the US turning into 1950′s Soviet Russia?

  Maybe because the same people are in control.

Try submitting bug reports. I did asking why I could not access the channel.

perhaps a few thousand of those…

I think it might have been taken down due to the fact its not the same campaign Ron Paul is using this year which confused people and had videos from third part campaigns like RonPaulFlix, EndoreseLiberty, etc. which the Ron Paul campaign can’t be connected to. Just a thought because Ron Paul’s 2012 YouTube page is still up =)

NewWorldLessOrders

Nice, optimistic point of view, but I believe it’s for other reasons…who knows will not reveal, I’m sure. My point will be proven if you can no longer find even older videos of him…but, I think removing ’08 from the YouTube picture is enough to deter slightly interested voters/Americans…apparently, the r3VOLution will not be on Youtube either!!

there are MANY other video channels - to set up an account on them – as far as I know they are all free and we still spread the videos around and prevent dependency on yt. here is a great link to check out and there are more video channels than that too but this is a good start – we should be on these video sites anyway as they have a lot of traffic too:

You can also create and host your own TV channel – it is not difficult to do and quite inexpensive. We should move to this model to at least have the vids under our control and if they delete a YT acct at least you still have your property and can still send people Ron Paul’s info You anb install your own social network on your vid channel that’s under your control. I hope this helps.

Go Ron Paul!!!

you might of heard of him, I have no idea . but Mention this to Ben Swann bswann19@fox:disqus com. he is the only one we can trust in media.

As they say, “Here’s what you need to know”: You can’t trust anyone in the media, especially not Fox, ever.

  Uhhhhh what about Mr. Judge Napolitano! And Neil Cavuto always finds the time to give our Mr. Paul coverage and interview time. I respect that. However, I can’t stand anyone else and besides that I understand where you’re coming from.

Yep, Ben Swann is a good guy….

Hey Is, just a thought … what kind of ratings do u think youtube would stand to lose if all of us Ron Paul Supporters .. suspended using youtube ? and i just don’t mean American’s … they are plenty of us all around the world.

NewWorldLessOrders

I’m in…except Israel would have to use a different host because I think I’m addicted to ronpaulflix.com recently!!

Israel, I read a letter from one of our Congressman in Oregon who voted on CISPA and it was quite disturbing. If you would like to see the whole letter, you can find it on Oregon for Ron Paul 2012 page. This is the last paragraph:
“I believe CISPA has matured to a point where the House and Senate along with civil rights advocates and private enterprise can complete the work needed to address our remaining concerns. I look forward to helping increase the protections for personal privacy included in CISPA prior to the bill heading to the President’s desk.” Rep. Schraeder (D-Ore)

He voted for the bill regardless of the fact that there were remaining concerns that still needed to be addressed.

I appreciate all your hard work and thanks for fighting the good fight!

The videos are not deleted. Youtube still has the videos saved on the server. All the views, comments and channel info are stored in the database.

Check out the video below. His channel was hacked and a lot of videos were deleted by the hacker. Days later, after a flood of community complaints, ALL the videos he had ever uploaded were back with view counts and everything — including videos that the channel owner had personally deleted YEARS ago. If the community complains loud enough those channels with all videos will b erestored as well.

Israel, I praise you for fighting the good fight and in such an intelligent manner. Everyone, we need to support rpflix as much as we can. Just like Ron Paul, Israel is a watchman for our great Republic. We must all be watchpersons at this trying time in our nation. LONG MAY WE ALL LIVE IN LIBERTY and OUR VIGILANCE MUST BE STRONG AND INCREASED.

Thank YOU fellow Ron Paul patriots. Keep up the great work Israel Anderson and rpflix.

ATTENTION: According to a Ron Paul supporter on FB, the “deleted Ron Paul channel” has in fact underwent a name change and is now at RonPaul2012. The videos are avialable there.

When I try going to that channel: ”
This channel is no longer available because the user has closed their account. ”

I’m just wondering, what if YouTube deleted Mitt Romney’s useless account?, that would be big news, all over the place, the MSM would be “outraged” OH NO!!!. we should send emails to YouTune stating that there are too many “flip-flopping” videos.

Spread the message and keep in touch with the Ron Paul Campaign, there’s an app for that!!!

You could serve the videos on your own server! Then NOBODY could take them down except you. Here is some great software for embedding videos from your own server. http://www.wimpyplayer.com/

Why am I not surprised! SOS but getting worse. The people are stronger than the internet!
Ron Paul President 2012

maybe we need to shut down youtube? and see how they like that!

Jb7porter

An example of how big business is controlled by the government and vice versa- censorship at it’s finest. Thank you, Israel, for your fine work. You are an invaluable part of the Ron Paul campaign. Despite all the roadblocks, I’m confident there is nothing truth and integrity can’t overcome! Ron Paul is going to win this nomination and election! President Paul!

Billfeldmann

Don’t use UTube for anything, they’ll get the hint.

Greg Gordon

I 100% recommend people backup their youtube accounts, there is really no way around this. That channel had at least over 10,000 million views so it had a great impact with 100,000′s of links and embeds around the internet.

Randy

The biggest problem I see as to why most people dont like Paul or like Obama better is simply because they cannot percieve things the same way we can or they have yet to understand what is truly going on. I think there is a large part of the populous that simply has never been informed of media bias or the truth on many issues like war, welfare, central bank, and laws that protect freedom. Very, very small number of people would be happy at the prospect of another Obama term or Romney presidency if everyone in the US knew all that we Ron Paul supporters do. Knowledge is power and unfortunately, the government will try hard to keep people in the dark. Thousands are waking up daily but if youtube does indeed continue these policies we the people will need to become the internet. We will need to hand out free literature and dvd’s if it comes to it. We will not simply go away when they try and limit liberty resources! When the people awaken, the government’s reign of evil will end. Let’s make the founders proud of this country!!!!

law suits 1 billion against every media outlet might make news
you know for all american people brothered by there class action?
or write a law to change the ability they have and let people sign it donate a dollar each or what is needed?
however they are people according to the supreme court and write their own laws lets start writing are own laws?

Maybe we should all email CNBC with the message that we will boycott their company. Maybe with enough messages they might get the message.

It’s my understanding that they don’t have the right to stop those videos under the Fair Use Copyright Act.

We who support Ron Paul must not betray the quintessential principle of liberty. Just like a retailer, YouTube (parent Google) has the right to “sell” (post) or “not sell” (remove) whatever “product” (content) it chooses. To argue otherwise is to support government control over internet content (aka CISPA). It appears as though YouTube will not be selling (or at least not pushing) any Ron Paul this season. Their loss. Ron Paul’s following is hands-down the most attractive demographic to marketers everywhere. Any company that chooses not to “sell” Dr. Paul will simply miss out on the rewards. I for one will only “shop” at places that sell my favorite product: liberty. To hell with YouTube. This is an amazing opportunity for RonPaulFlix and other video outlets to gain market share on YouTube. Who knows, with the right strategy, and after Dr. Paul is elected President, RonPaulFlix may just change its name to Flix, the premier place on the internet to receive truthful news and information regarding political affairs in the USA.

Ok, this is really messed up! I’ve watched countless hours of video on that channel. One thing I would recommend as good practice from here on out: Use the free video distribution service: http://www.oneload.com/

This service allows you to upload video there and it distributes it across many video sites across the net. This will at least prevent putting all eggs in the Youtube basket. Distribute the same video to multiple sites all in one motion with no extra effort. This will lead to increased viewership too.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-Stogsdill/774672500 Jason Stogsdill

It’s basically syndicating the video – 1 video distributed to 15 sites. Many of the sites the Rpwork lists below I know will work with Oneload

Follow my lead and flag the Obama2008 channel for copyright infringement:

“If the RonPaul2008 channel had to be removed from youtube, then the Obama2008 channel must be removed as well:
http://www.youtube.com/user/obama2008

Please immediately restore:

Disregard. My suggestion didn’t work. Don’t waste your time with it.

RJ

They had better get that crap back up, there’s absolutely NO excuse for it. Can we dig up any phone numbers? Any more direct lines of communication??? Be nice if they could wake up tomorrow with 10,000 emails demanding to put the channel back up.

Glad to hear you’re thinking ahead about stuff like this, we gotta be prepared for anything!

Not sure what can be done with the number, but give it a shot (maybe best during business hours):

Thank you for this website! Boycotting CNBC is simple for me as I’ve been off the TV grid for two years and don’t miss it or lamestream media at all.
