It looks that this account is not immediately run or owned by the Ron Paul 2012 Campaign, “Restore America Now.” The channel was run by Ron Paul fans and usually aggregated network Tv appearances from news interviews and coverage from network Tv. It’s suprising the thousands of movies had lasted this extended without DMCA requests right to YouTube officials.

The Ron Paul campaign has nevertheless to acknowledge this well-known Ron Paul YouTube channel was shutdown or that they have any issues about it. Customers on the other hand at sites like The Day-to-day Paul & Ron Paul Discussion boards are unbelievably upset and attempting to figure out what they want to do to get the channel reinstated.

One post on DailyPaul.com is titled: The Largest Ron Paul Channel on YouTube…Removed?! It goes on to say, “RonPaul2008dotcom Has always been my supply for watching video’s from existing to years back. Acquiring thousands of movies, millions of views, and hundred’s of 1000's of subscribers.. Youtube has made a decision to shut the account down……. To all these who added movies, to it.. Thank you… But, Youtube, have to be attempting to censor ron paul even more…… IM SO P***ED Thousands OF Videos GONE!!!!”
