Very heartwarming. I have an "android named" video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, and because there is copyrighted background music going on (which I didn't realize at the time) YouTube is threatening to delete it. I don't know if they will or not, not sure when they put the "will delete" tag on it.

My late wife is in it. She died recently. I didn't know that video was still up there until I read your post. And now my heart breaks.

If you remember the account details to log in to the account which uploaded that video, you can go to https://studio.youtube.com, click "Content", and under the 3-dot menu for each video you can click "Download" to get Youtube's copy of your video.

Hoping that helps. Otherwise, you might try something like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.

If you can send me the link I will happily rip it from YouTube for you and send it to you via any method you prefer. Sorry for your loss.

YouTube now has a new feature to replace copyrighted background soundtracks with free ones automatically, using some AI magic to edit the movie while preserving views, links, likes, etc.

Very nice feature, though I haven’t used it myself to say if it works as labeled. It should be an option now when you get a violation warning.
