Six years ago my primary Gmail account suddenly became banned from
Google Groups. I appealed through the online appeal process and the
automated response denied my appeal. As stated in earlier threads,
nobody seems to be in charge of regulation a lot of Google's massive
properties (like Groups and YouTube)... people are designed to create
automated filters then the system more or less is supposed to police
itself. In other words, the process doesn't work.

In some cases the process doesn't exist. I recently began using the
monetization feature of YouTube, hoping to make a few extra pennies a
year. I didn't click to monetize some of the videos I made in college
when I used music or b-roll from other sources, but two of the recent
videos I uploaded got flagged by YouTube as containing copyrighted
music. One of the two videos contained a score I created myself in
GarageBand using loops; the other flagged video contained a fiddle
player performing the national anthem. There is no link or email
process I can go to for that -- the decision was made, most likely by
a computer, and that is that.
