Hi Dillon,
I certainly wish you the best with your claim. You have done so much to further my appreciation of Ms. Devia. I had always liked her but had no idea of how great she is until I saw her many videos that you were good enough to provide.
It is unfortunate that someone who doesn't like you should deprive opera lovers of such great singing, especially at a time when that is in such short supply.
Please keep up the fight and let us know if there is anything that we can do to help.
Jon

Hello Olivier and group members....
As many of you know... I am (or was) coloraturafan on youtube. Yes, my channel was closed today. This is due to a copy right claim made by "Mariella Devia." As we all know, Ms. Devia had nothing to do with this claim on youtube. Rather, this is a desperate measure taken by someone who doesn't like me. My account on youtube had over 1800 videos, and I had invested much time, hard work, and love of the art. The account was closed last year, and at that time I fought the claim and won. Unfortunately, it is a long and hard fight (last time it took over a month). I don't think I have the energy to fight it again. I have sent youtube a standard letter denying the copy right claim, so we will see what happens from here on.
Wish me luck!
Dillon
