The Eagles Removed my Music Video of Me Singing "Witchy Woman" Due to a "Copyright Takedown Notice." I Guess They Don't Want Fans to Sing Their Songs... IN CONTRAST... The Grateful Dead Sponsored a Contest to See Who Can Sing THEIR Songs the Best! and I recorded a BUNCH of Dead Songs on Youtube... Only Two Eagle Songs were Worthy...

So I deleted the Song "Hotel California" Too... I Clearly Stated the Fact that I was Not Making any Money from the Video... and I Said Who Wrote the Song... I Just Like Singing! I Cover Many Other People's Songs! 

So I Emailed The Eagles and Offered to Allow THEM to sing MY SONGS! I provide the Chords and Lyrics so anyone (including YOU) can learn to Sing My Songs!

Here is the Threatening Email... They Could Close Down MY Entire Youtube Site... I guess I should Find an Alternative Free Music Video Site so My Songs are Not Deleted by Wankers in Management... Maybe DailyMotion!

and then an Alert Reader on Mastodon Said:

Youtube is a false friend for our soc. And, I'm sure, it will take only 10-20 more years before you finally get it and stop making everything on earth a youtube and fb thing. ;)

and I replied:

I am certainly going to upload my original songs to DAILY MOTION just so I Have another Copy on the Internet... I should have realized that I should use MORE THAN ONE SERVICE PROVIDER 15 years ago when Yahoo Geocities Vanished... and then Microsoft Free Website Vanished and Tripod Vanished... Why Not Google? They Could Just Disappear any day! A  Targeted Virus could "EAT" all the Data and Hold it for Ransom... and All My Youtube Videos Go POOF!
