From a video comment by Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada,
The audio on this video was muted by YouTube because of copyright claims by "UMG", "SME", "WMG" and "[Merlin] The State 51 Conspiracy". The claims are against background music that played during our lunch break. We would be happy to edit out these songs, or edit out the entire lunch break for that matter, but this doesn't seem to be an option. YouTube instructions say to go to Edit/Audio to do this, but there is no Audio option in our Edit menu. We have no other copy of this recording, since it was produced by live streaming with Hangout on Air.
Since we have no ability to edit this video, we have disputed the copyright claim. We are arguing that our video qualifies under the non-commercial user generated content exception in the Canadian Copyright Act. Unfortunately, it looks like YouTube only expects arguments under American law, so we have filed it as "fair use" dispute. The copyright holders have 30 days to respond. Thank you all for your support.
The video can be found at:

It was 4 years ago and it looks like the issue has now been fixed so that you can hear all 7 hours of audio from the presentations. The copyright flag was due to some hideous muzak played by the DJ when lunch was on and the room was otherwise vacant.
Always good to have a standalone copy of your content which isn't dependent on YouTube liking you.
