Change the content ID system causing videos to be wrongfully flagged & un-flag affected videos

The Issue

YouTube is not just a site to watch a great video or to get a good laugh, its a community and for some, its their job. There are users that rely on YouTube for some income. Others just want to have a good time. The new Content ID system is causing thousands upon thousands of videos to be flagged and/or outright blocked. Videos containing even hints of music or a short clip of a show, movie or videogame are being flagged. This is especially apparent within the gaming community. The blocked videos are risking the jobs of thousands of users and could potentially be put on the street. Users such as AngryJoeShow and many other popular users may have to discontinue their channels. These major users drive a singnificant amount of traffic to YouTube. The content ID system should be used to target pirating, not innocent users. Don't let this happen. Change YouTube. Your signature could save someone's job
