I had to delete my Real World parody videos
Due to copyright issues, Youtube decided to mute the audio on my "Real World: VA" video. I used the song "Apache" by the Sugarhill Gang which is owned by Warner Music Group. I got a notice on my account telling me they muted the video until the music was swapped out. Well, the scene was me imitating the Fresh Prince of Bel Air skit where Carlton and Will entered a dance contest and performed to the aforementioned song. It just wouldn't make sense if I changed it. So rather than change my original vision, I deleted it. My way or the highway. They limited the views of the video. I wondered why it got so little views, and now I know. Youtube limited the visibility of the video -- they said so in the message/warning.
