What might have happened is that your content was getting copied and the copy was assumed to be the original.

It's happened before; there was a HN post on it. Sorry can't remember the details off-hand.

That sounds plausible. I believe content supplemented by YouTube videos may help in such situations. The fact that there is publish date (I hope you can't change), it is unlikely someone can claim your content.

That's fairly solid evidence, but it only counts for anything if the person checking on your case bothers to look at it. For a minor affiliate to be terminated, I'd expect virtually no investigation.
