Hey guys,
So after a pretty restless night, I've come to some level of sanity in dealing with my youtube account being deleted. I've contacted Viacom (the company alleging that my Gathering Storm Spoof violated copyright) and asked them to retract the counter notice against my video as it was something created by myself. If that doesn't follow through, I've spoken to a few lawyers who are ready to file a counter notification against Viacom to get my account and my videos restored. Of course, I have no guarantees of ever getting UrInTown back, so in the meantime I need to do some damage control. I've created a new account on youtube called KeenanBlogger. I've begun to upload whatever I have to the account. Sadly, more than half of the videos I put up on youtube are forever lost. If you have for some lucky reason ripped any of my videos over the years, especially the U of M performance ones, please email me at andrewkeenanbolger@yahoo.com and I'll let you know if it's one of the videos that I don't have. If any of your friends or family have watched the UrInTown videos, pass them on the new channel. There's gonna be no way to gain back all 5,000+ subscribers that I've lost, but I can hope. In the meantime, now would be a great time to catch up on old Andrew's Blogs that you may have not seen. I luckily saved about 90% of them and a few are already up with more on the way. I thank you guys so much for your kind words and advice and your continued support of my random video projects.
Sincerely,
Andrew Keenan-Bolger

:( Sad day...I hope it gets resolved.
Do they say precisely what the infringement was?
I love you so much Andrew Keenan Bolger! I am now a subscriber to the new channel!!
You are amazing, and I have every ounce of faith in me telling me things will work themselves out! And my fingers are crossed for the videos to resurface!!
LOVE love love!
i am so sorry!!! that is horrible and makes absolutely no sense! i sincerely hope you are able to fight back. i am going now to subscribe to the new account. this is ridiculous!
I was trying to hold out hope that this whole thing was a big misunderstanding. But, it really angers me that they feel that they can rip something so important to a person away from them like that, without any repercussions. Please let any of us know what we can do to make sure that this does not go unnoticed.
Best,
Price
I'm SO sorry that this has happened. Other than the fact that I will miss seeing certain videos (my fingers, toes, eyes, etc... are all crossed that "Blue Hair" and "Turkey Lurkey" made it ...), I am so upset for you that these memories of you and your friends' accomplishments are gone. R.I.P. UrInTown ...
OMFG!!!! I'm so sorry I'm like almost in tears right now cuz I'll really miss all of your fabulous videos <3
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS BACK
