On March 26, 2009, YouTube account moymoypalaboy, that very same YouTube account that garnered 40 million hits worldwide, which has been up since 2007 was unfortunately suspended. YouTube claimed it was due to copyright infringement. Although moymoypalaboy’s lipsync videos of themselves were original, the songs used weren’t theirs. Fans has set up a petition to let YouTube bring back the suspended moymoypalaboy account back for sentimental reasons. A new Youtube account was created that same day called moymoypalaboyteam.
