Industry fights back as YouTube begins mass cull of game videos

A rising number of games publishers and developers are offering help to YouTube users affected by a sudden and sweeping cull of their videos.
Since Monday, numerous video game presenters on YouTube have been notified of strikes on their channel, as website owner Google implements a tougher new technology that auto-detects content in breach of copyright. If content is flagged by the new technology, any further revenue made from the videos will be redirected to the copyright owner and not the content creator - effectively culling the entrepreneurial business of YouTube.
However, many of the copyright owners have not asked for these changes to happen, and are now beginning to help users restore their business.
TetraNinja, a YouTube personality with about 500,000 subscribers, has said that more than 350 of his videos have been flagged. Meanwhile, GhostRobo (more than 600,000 subscribers) says more than one hundred of his videos have been affected
