NOTE: I don't give a shit if you do this, they're breaking the law by taking down videos.
1. Go to "My Videos".
2. Select "Resolve Copyright" on either the menu or on the video itself that is having copyright issues.
3. Go down, and select the option "I want to learn more about this dispute process".
4. Scroll down and select the "Take me to the dispute form" option.
5. Pick option 2, and copypaste this statement into the text bar next to it:
"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."
6. Fill out the rest of the information on the page, using your REAL name where it asks for it. Once that's done, click "Continue".
7. Scroll down the page select "Submit Dispute".
This does work. Just wait a bit and your video will be back to what you uploaded it as.
+Rep if you liked the tut or found it helpful, please.
EDIT: Credit to some guy on YouTube for discovering this, I guess.
