Haha, just found out that I can never become a partner on my channel because I have two copyright strikes. I have individual ads though, so it's not all that bad.
That's a bummer 
Must be a new policy since I had two videos flagged for copyright infringement a year or so ago and I still got partnership. I did remove one of them due to its lackluster run on Youtube and disputed the other for fair use.
Do you still have those video on Youtube (albeit blocked)?
It was about 2.5 years ago when I was stupid so I uploaded some songs and had no idea what I was doing, and it was around the same time that youtube just went crazy on their copyright, so they just gave me two strikes.
I deleted the videos after that, so there is no possible way to do anything about it.
It looks like this:

Well, at least it wasn't the WMG.
I am also not allowed to do other things, like uploading films as unlisted.

Well that sucks.
RedBrick1, I've been having the same problem, so I've been researching. Here are some quote's I've pulled out of different articles.
YouTube will take whatever picture you upload and convert/re-compress it to a jpeg using really, really low compression...they aren't displaying your original file. Much, much worse with picture that have a lot of fine detail, it's better with pictures with less fine detail and solid areas of color.

I tried that, and it works okay but it's not the best. There's improvement, but it's not good.
The closest thing I got to good was to take a picture with a better camera, better settings, sharpen it, and it's okay.
EDIT: solution solved (for me) I've always been using a jpg file, but I just switched the image to png, and It's fantastic.
Thanks for the info, I tried a PNG and that and it looks perfect! Thank you very much for the tips.
Sorry to hear about that Emma, if there is one person that deserves a partnership that doesn't have one already it is you!
Well yeah. I mean getting a copyright strike is I think a permanent mark on your youtube account so if you get one and you're thinking about becoming a youtube partner ya better start out with the new account. That's what I did... 
still not a partner though but at least I'm sure none of my videos will be taken down by some greedy WMG monsters.
Video been removed/muted due to a copyright claim? Fret not!
(Tried and tested. I've had a few videos taken down because of WMG and I got them back and I have no strikes at all. Making a new account is not the right way to go.)
Thanks Hazzat, I'll be sure to use that if anything happens 
very helpful
Is really enjoying using Videocopilot's Designer Sound Effects, and Pro Scores.
I seriously never understood these Youtube suggestions.
I'm going to delete this post, because I don't want to make a big fuss over this. And no, goldencamera, it's not what you're thinking.

What are your guy's thoughts on Box4Box, I have noticed some are for it, while others are all the way against it. Any thoughts?
I don't particularly care about Box4Box... 
Can the words 'No Profit was made from this video' be any more clearer?
I feel really bad for my German fans (if I have any...) particularly, as most of my videos are blocked there.
