So all those sites (many well known) that link to personal recordings on YouTube are violating google's terms. eeeeek! I can't imagine how many sites will be suspended if they decide to go down that route. I already emailed them before making this topic so maybe it's best if I wait for their reply before sending another email? Well, they did say that future violations may lead to a suspension, that's why I thought it may be another "strike" on my account.
Not sure why you didn't check the links yourself before you responded to their email or before you removed the posts.
Because the member made a topic and said those were her recordings and wanted other's opinions. Anyway, it's still in the trash bin. I can recover it if needed. Note that even if it was a recording the poster had made themselves, unless they also WROTE the song themselves it could still be a copyright violation. I would simply write back and make the best case you can, and forget about the idea that it's a "strike" against you. I'm not aware of any evidence that Google thinks in those terms.
