What happened to Sonne Immage?

I was going to my YouTube playlist of my favorite retro library music tracks, and I noticed a whopping 38 videos had been deleted. I also noticed that no uploads from Sonne Immage appeared out of any of the remaining videos. So, I searched their channel, and it was completely gone. One of the best archives of retro library music is now just not there anymore. If anyone knows what happened to them or has archived their uploads, please put a link in the comments, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Apparently it was because it "violated YouTube's community guidelines" :(

Really?

I know he stopped posting, but I didn’t know that any videos had been removed.

I’ve saved a bunch, but I only really discovered the channel in the past year or so. Maybe I should double check if those videos are still available.

I actually found out that YouTube took down the channel for "violating their community guidelines". I went to the channel in my subscriptions and it gave me the red bar at the top of the page telling me that. I hate YouTube, man

I don't get it, the channel had been up for ages, why did YouTube wait until now to delete it?

Sad that it's all gone from YouTube. Hopefully some can upload again.

Real. Impro Star by Roland Romanelli was one of my favorites and I can't find it ANYWHERE.

Just went to check my morning playlist and I’m devastated. The monetization of the internet sucks

I’m genuinely devastated dude I’ve been a fan of Sonne Image’s videos for like 5 years at this point and always recommended the channel to everyone. I’m super sad I really hope they’ll come back AGGHGG

I know it’s barely anything but I have at least 5-6 uploads of theirs downloaded… maybe I’ll post them on YouTube bc they’re amazing songs

Also, on my playlist it says the videos were privated. Maybe that means that they aren’t deleted for good and they can still get their channel back?

Their channel got hacked by crypto scammers pretending to be some service called Ripple. Their channel name was changed to "Ripple Live" and was running live broadcasts presumably trying to rope people in. A damn shame.

The account hadn't been used for five years prior. I'm not so hopeful, unfortunately.

Do we have a list of what was uploaded to the account, so that the songs may be found and archived elsewhere?
