I can't imagine any situation where the NBA are trying to shut down your videos! It must be something automatic on youtube that's flagging them. As I said it must be something to do with the particular video.
What network is the footage from? How long is the video?
If the highlights are from a nationally televised game it could be that youtube has recognition to see the network logo and certain network logos are automatically flagged and rejected.
I would try to contact YouTube and see if they can help answer why that particular video was rejected, when all the other ones you've uploaded have gone through fine.
Oh man I've tried to contact them but you're just put on a repetitive loop that ends in the singular option of a phone call. More money. The most recent footage was from TNT, which previously was not an issue. So it's become apparent that I've been put on some automated watch list, and any file that corresponds to the NBA will be blocked instantly and automatically.
The chains are on, it seems, and being a mere drone I have no say in the matter. F*ck Knicks fans, anyway. What do they matter in the grand scheme of sucking money out of people?
And even still, if I made the videos exclusively for KO, and were somehow able to host them directly herein, the effort wouldn't be worth the response or the view amount. Assuming that it were possible anyway, it'd be a mere matter time before the videos were blocked by the league.
If we could have a top 10 plays schedule for individuals capable, I'd chip in. But we can't even manage to maintain a consistent GT schedule.
All considered, I give up. I'm not gonna fight for the right to entertain others at the cost of my own time, money, and legal standing.
If things remained the same, I'd keep it up for the next 2 seasons at least.
