The internet's busiest music nerd, Anthony Fantano, aka "The Needle Drop", had numerous videos taken down from his YouTube channel, due to them being in "copyright infringement". He's uploaded over a thousand videos since, mostly album reviews, yet many of these early review videos (which contained excerpts from the album) are now missing. Anthony Fantano has stated he no longer has the original videos.

Anthony Fantano, aka "The Needle Drop", is a popular YouTuber who mostly does music reviews. He's had '''numerous videos''' removed from his channel (primarily his earliest ones) due to them possibly infringing YouTube's copyright policies. This includes reviews for Animal Collective, Fever Ray, and Sunn O))).<ref>[http://www.theneedledrop.com/loved-list/2009 The Needle Drop website post of the deleted 2009 videos.] Retrieved 20 Sep '16</ref><ref>[http://www.theneedledrop.com/loved-list/2010 The Needle Drop website post of the deleted 2010 videos.] Retrieved 20 Sep '16</ref>


Videos taken down include his reviews for Animal Collective, Fever Ray, Sunn O, and many others, mostly dating around 2009 and early 2010.
==Quantity==
Approximately 160 videos are currently lost. (An archive from the Wayback Machine displays that Fantano had 240 uploads as of June 5, 2010.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100605051244/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyb8U8sarI Wayback Machine archive: Broken Bells- "The High Road" Track Review]</ref> To extrapolate the number of missing videos, ignore the 68 videos currently available on his channel from before the aforementioned date and the 12 videos that have been archived below.)


YouTube has since changed their policy on removing videos that use music. As long as the music goes under "fair use", it doesn't get removed anymore. A few users have uploaded a small handful of the missing videos, but most of the content hasn't surfaced for years.
==Availability==
Anthony has stated that many of the deleted videos are no longer in his possession, meaning that the only way these videos can still be found is if someone happened to download his videos before they were deleted and were willing to re-upload them; some may be lost forever.


Keeping a tab on what videos are still missing can prove to be quite a chore, as fans find these videos on their computers, re-upload them, and find out later that YouTube will take them back down.
