I've been reading a lot of threads on Yeousch (gaming network) and TGN's forums and I see people getting partnered with disabled adsense. I think networks can reinstate your adsense if they really like your channel.
I don't think they can do anything with your adsense... once you have adsense disabled you're banned from adsense for life. It's a really dumb policy but Google does what Google wants.
Also, possibly the worst news, is that a disabled adsense account can
not be un-linked from a YouTube account. TGN apparently pays directly through Paypal, so your "banned from adsense" status wouldn't necessarily hinder you there, but I still think that the particular YouTube account with the adsense account stuck to it might be a problem, seeing as that account can't ever monetize again.
Perhaps some networks can pull strings to get around some of these issues. But it's really a terrible thing to do to a person, especially a YouTuber.
Shame on you Google.
