Youtube deleted my account!

I didn't even get an e-mail notification...nothing! Perhaps my videos got too popular...when googling "renee fleming rusalka" the video I uploaded is the first hit. 
Gosh, how I love these RIAA-mafia people.

You should contest that if you own the rights to the video.

If you don't like the copyright laws of the United States, then you can always get a group of like-minded people together and lobby Congress and work to elect representatives who agree with you. Now, I've always found the RIAA's focus misguided since it's pretty clear, both from media and first-hand reports that international piracy and non-compliance is a bigger problem than college kids downloading Kanye West's newest single, but the law's the law. Like I say, however, if you don't like the law, then there are recourses available to you within the democratic framework of the Republic.

You could consider the deletion a blessing.

You are lucky not to be prosecuted.  What do you do for a living?  Do you expect to get paid for your labor, or is it okay with you if people steal from you?

A very interesting article on the issue of copyright.
