Just yesterday I started talking about the possible blocking of YouTube in Russia, as YouTube itself started blocking my channel.

As a result, they deleted 5 videos:

- Dave Weckl - Drum solo transcription (from Got a Match? Chick Corea)
- Dave Weckl - Straight Ahead Jazz
- Dave Weckl - Festival De Ritmo
- Steve Smith - Brush heating transcription
- Steve Smith - A Night in Tunisia

But first things first.
There was already a conflict with Weckl's manager when I posted a transcription of his solo from "got a match?" Chick Corea.
Then I emailed the manager to find out why the video was removed,
to which he told me that there were musical snippets of Chick's playing, and that by doing such
transcriptions I was speculating on Weckl's online school, i.e., taking away his income. But I've got
monetization and the videos are in the public domain, then it's true there were links to donate, which now
And I didn't make any money from the donations.
I cut all fragments of the game Chica and the video is not removed. After a while I posted Straight Ahead Jazz. No one had any questions about it at all. But as soon as I posted Festival De Ritmo yesterday,
they deleted it and the two videos above.
The most interesting thing is that in processing the "festival" youtube told me that the copyright holder allows you to publish
This video and will monetize it in his favor, but then he apparently changed his mind. I must have done something secret
in Weckl's game. I got one strike for that. Two more strikes and the channel would be shut down forever.

And at night I got a letter of complaint from Steve Smith about the 2 videos and they were safely deleted. Two more strikes on the channel.
If there is another complaint within three months, the channel will be shut down. This is unfortunate.

The bottom line is this, for three months I have not published anything on YouTube, not to get another strike.
It's a shame if I have to stop activity on YouTube, because it's the only cross-national
platform where videos, without any investment, can get into recommendations of potential viewers.

Telegram posts are not affected by this situation, they will be. I will also put here the transcripts removed from YouTube.
