Videos are often removed because the music publisher files a copyright infringement claim with YouTube. Those who post cover versions are (technically) using copyrighted material without permission to do so. This happened to me. After 3 'strikes', YouTube removed my channel altogether. I'd posted several Lightfoot covers; these were not the subject of complaints, however. (The claims filed were for 2 Eagles covers and a Meatloaf cover.)
