An Ex Freelancer had access to my Youtube account and deleted all my videos, is there any legal recourse for me?

Question

A freelancer I previously worked with deleted all my videos off my youtube account after having a disagreement. Is there any legal recourse I can take?

Answer 1

Do you have a contract which proves ownership of any videos?  do you have proof of who deleted the videos? If so, contact a lawyer. If not, Change the password on the account, and reupload all the videos.  (You did make backups, right?)
