I found out that only some episodes of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! had been taken down from YouTube due to copyright trouble by Sony Pictures Entertainment. David Downs' original YouTube channel and his backup channel both got hit with a copyright strike by Sony because David uploaded a full episode of Jeopardy! from 1985. Jared Oswald got hit with not one but two copyright strikes for uploading his own copies of full episodes of Wheel and Jeopardy! to YouTube itself. David told me in a comment on my own video about copyright trouble by Sony, which targeted Jeopardy! almost exclusively in that purge, which was similar to the one that happened in the summer of 2011.
A user called gameshowboy got a strike for a Jeopardy! episode he had uploaded, but he actually got hit with all three copyright strikes by Sony for uploading his own full Wheel and Jeopardy episodes.
If you have any Wheel and Jeopardy! episodes that were taken down due to copyright trouble by Sony, as well as any other Wheel and Jeopardy! episodes that don't circulate on the Internet, try another website such as Dailymotion. You'll be safe on a video hosting website where you can avoid getting copyright problems altogether. So if you've uploaded your own copies of Wheel and Jeopardy! episodes to YouTube in the past, I really want you to upload those episodes to Dailymotion, so you'll be safe on there. The only Wheel and Jeopardy! clips you should upload to YouTube are promos for the show and intros and credits from various episodes.
Leave a comment below if you have any Wheel and Jeopardy! episodes that were previously available on YouTube and/or don't circulate on the Internet yet.
