I noticed I wasn't logged into YouTube today. After trying to login, I was redirected to a support page that said I'm unable to access the Google product, i.e. YouTube. Later on I checked my YouTube page and saw that it was terminated...

I don't comment. I haven't uploaded any original content in months. It makes no sense. I told them that in contacting them to understand what is going on.
Then I went to my YouTube account and saw the message:
This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted.
They didn't even warn me, or let me remove the content.
There was 1 video of a 1 minute clip from a BBC movie on Orwell's 1984 that I had uploaded 4 years ago. That's it as far as I know. What are these multiple third-party copyright violations? Psshh....
I await to here back from them to see if I can get my account back. I've never even had a violation notice or anything sent to me. I had tens of thousands of views on my account for the content I created and put there. This is really lame.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
