“Now, it looks like Let’s Play videos are one more piece of content that’s being caught up in YouTube’s Content ID system. It’s an automated copyright-enforcement system that’s been glitchy from the start and often criticized for taking down legitimate content.

Until October, there wasn’t even a meaningful appeal system for owners of wrongly removed videos.”
