BAM they ALL either get rejected OR you can't use hardly ANY of the audio

What I did was I used winHTTrack to download a website full of the torrent files, then I was going to download all of the lowest quality versions (950 of them) so I could get them all uploaded and downloaded very quickly

Then I was going to determine which ones were the most popular and without copyright restrictions/issues and re-upload whichever those were in higher quality

But then the 20 or so test files I uploaded (highest quality I could find) all had huge issues and I think if I do the other 900+ my account will just get banned

So back to the drawing board for youtube
