Um, you trusted your work to "The Internet" and you didn't have it anywhere else? Is that what happened? |

My bet is that they had data limits and he went over. |

This is much more important than this guy's boneheaded decision not to back up his work. YouTube does this crap, too, all. the. time. The problem is, people like this guy and others on YouTube aren't just posting pictures of their cats; their livelihood is tied into these services and they have absolutely no mechanism to deal with these kinds of issues. For example, if enough people complain about your video on YouTube—and you can bet some douche who gets in a flame war with you will ask his followers to flag your posts, this is already common—before anyone at YouTube looks into the matter, they'll take the video down and you lose your ad revenue streams. Just like that. Oh, bonus: if a guy claims you stole his material—just claims it—they'll start giving him the revenue until the issue is looked into. If it turns out the claim was bogus, that guy still gets to keep the money he took from you. This is a big damn problem. |

HOLY CARP!!!

Big Internet/media companies increasingly have more and more in common with the monopolies of old. Need to update anti-trust laws to deal with the monopolies. Harder to claim damage, though, as most people use these Internet/media companies' platforms and services for "free." |

Nah, it's incredibly easy to claim damages. A whole lot of people make their living exclusively through YouTube and other services, and their entire livelihoods have been wrecked from algorithms making the wrong decision with their content. What needs to be fixed is the EULA. |
