Yes, it's true that Youtube deleted the video due to 'content violation'. The video had been up for about 8 years with almost 300,000 views and had far less explicit content than many of today's music promo videos. I suspect it wasn't a dear old offended granny who reported it but one of our ex Facebook Members. He consistently posted half naked pics of his miserable looking wife clearly under pressure for the pics, which were often deleted. When I mentioned the deletion of our video in the group he called it 'karma' with a winking emoji. Shortly after he left the group. I prepared quite a lengthy appeal, but as I went to post it YouTube only allowed a max of 30 characters, which was hardly enough for a single sentence. They never replied. We did also have a copy of it on Vimeo, another video sharing platform. Unfortunately that one got deleted too about the same time, on that occasion it was for unauthorized use of the Black Jack Billy background music. Probably the same guy reported it. With the video being so old I had changed computers around 6 times and somewhere along the way the file got lost. I've asked the videographer too if he has a copy, but with videography and photography being his full time job he has millions of pictures and videos and couldn't find it either. I should have stored it on a DVD or the server somewhere, but hindsight is 20/20. Sadly, it looks like it's gone forever.
The url is: youtu.be/p07PrpjAtek If you can that would be great. I've tried arhchive.org without any luck.
Managed to find a screen cap from 2015 but it was age restricted even back then. However, at least I know the date of upload. It's more recent than I thought so I'll try the videographer again.
Have found a way to play the video, but there's no download button. Working on it! Here it is! I'll ask our daughter to screen record it, and we should be all set to upload it again under a new account.
Works fine for me. It does look like there is nothing there, did you press the play button regardless? If not maybe it's cached for me.
