James Rolfe a.k.a. [i]The Angry Video Game Nerd[/i] has had his account terminated on youtube for violating terms of service, apparently. Check it out for yourself.
Opinions on youtube openly shutting down internet-celebrities? Surely he had to bring in some considerable revenue.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BenderIsKing I'm going to guess he had too many copyright notices on his videos and so they took him down, since YouTube (and copyright holders alike) don't seem to understand that "Fair Use" is a thing.[/quote]I'd wager that AVGN was getting ad money from his videos, which means that it doesn't fall under Fair Use. Want to use a song in your video? Contact the copyright holder. Artists have a right to be compensated for the work the produce.
