You Tube Deletions - Delutube

My daughter made a bunch of stick figure animations with Paint Shop Pro based on a TV show, creative fan fiction. She drew hundreds of pictures and put them together in frames to create action. She added voice, music and sounds. She uploaded them at You Tube and they were very popular.

Without any warning or notification, You Tube took them off just because they used a word that is the same word as in a popular TV show, yet they had no copyright images or image similarity (just stick drawings) but she did use names of characters.

This is pretty sad because our computer crashed and we lost everything -- all her work gone.
We sat around one Saturday afternoon reminiscing what was lost in our files.

While out surfing I found a site that supposedly caches those vids that have disappeared.
Maybe this can be of help to someone else who was just as shocked to find their vids tossed out to cyberspace.

Delutube Update -- No longer a valid website -- like You Tube's "other side". Type in the user name to find old deleted vids, links are at the bottom.

Always something to do.
I wish the scanner worked. So does she. She got some high quality Prismacolor pencils for Christmas and started to draw out the frames and then scan them verses doing all the drawings on the computer.
