YouTube's ContentID system blocks videos alleged to infringe on copyright. Lately it has been coming down on a great many highly visible, legitimate videos. YouTube is apparently taking its time in resolving the problem.
Several popular YouTube accounts, including those belonging to 'MIT OpenCourseWare' and the 'Blender Foundation,' have had all their videos blocked. People who try to access the videos are informed that they are not available in their country, suggesting that YouTube's piracy filters have been triggered. It's unclear, however, who or what is to blame.

I don't publish in YouTube, but I hear that some companies will not take down your video if it is considered copyright infringing, but instead put ads on YOUR video.
e.g.
"This video is mine, take it down"
"I don't wanna."
"Okay, I get to put ads on it and take the proceeds."
It sounds like Blender has a global no ads setting on their account, which might have interfered with the ability to add such ads, so it fell back on "we will block this video unless you disable the "Disable all ads" option".
