Hundreds of hours went into that channel. It was the only one that had the complete (!) recordings of early 20th century baritone Titta Ruffo, including the unpublished Edison cylinders, and I'd put a ridiculous amount of my free time into it over about a decade.
I may have had 10 down votes on 400 videos.
Except for five or six of of more modern artists (1960s), all 400 were 80, 90, 100+ year old audio recordings. It was an exceptional resource, and included many other artists besides.
I just couldn't stand the scam-legal this-that thrown my way by untold numbers of "legal entities" whose ownership claims I couldn't possibly contest. I gave up, unable to balance, in my mind, outflows to criminals, even if it was just pennies.
Part of me regrets deleting it. It was a one-of-a-kind resource, but the legal blerg was eine komplette Scheiße.
YouTube, if you're listening, you're welcome to resurrect all of those videos and take whatever ownership you can muster. I certainly won't try anymore. I won't upload so much as a video of me drinking a cup of coffee because the coffee cup, the coffee in it, and probably the traffic noise playing in the background will be claimed as property of someone else.
Yes, even property that's over a century old and in the public domain.
The channel was registered to tittaruffooffurattit@gmail.com, also deleted. You have my permission to resurrect and take ownership if you can.
