featuring adam neely. longish video but theres some real bullshit going on. people are making claims on videos that are talking about aspects of songs, riffs, licks, chord progressions, etc. people are getting copyright claimed for talking about sheet music for a song. on top of all this paul got copyright claimed for a song that he wrote and someone else used to sing over.
Yep pretty much normal
You don't own your own content. Everyone else owns it that isn't you.
This issue is more related to the music industry than anything else. The music industry is responsible for at least 75 percent of all copyright flags, because youtube explicitly gave them free reign to do whatever the hell they want. They made a massive deal with them years ago. Youtube doesn't care about all the little channels that get affected by this bullshit, because official corporate music channels generate more revenue than anything else on the site, by a wide margin.
That's interesting because by law you're not allowed to copyright any of these things unless you have a major reason why you want to claim it (example being the riff or lick is so famous)
Chord progressions are not legally claimable period.
Most copyright claims on YouTube fall into this category.
But it's legally much easier for YT to just comply with legal requests.
There should be a fine for every proven illegal copyright claim. Like $1000 for each false claim on illegal premise.
Would deter all this blanket copyright bullshite. Dunno how it would work tho
Either they haven't bothered to use any criteria for what counts as infringement and don't care, or they are purposefully stealing revenue.
Anywhere else the music industry would not give a shit about any of these examples
the best (worst) part of appealing a false copyright strike is that it doesn't go through YouTube, it goes to the fucking people who issued the strike.
it basically goes like this
"hey, you gave me a copyright strike for a song I didn't even use. I would like it to be removed-"
"NO, AND IF YOU TRY TO APPEAL AGAIN YOU WILL BE PUNISHED"
This really pisses me off about YouTube, too. My channel is basically all copyrighted content, as I play guitar/bass over the original track, and I'm okay with being claimed and whatnot since I'm using the original material. These are people creating wholly original content though, building up the tracks with no use of the original in any part of their creations besides the base song, or sometimes not even using the song at all! Then, if you want to argue against it, you could have legal action pressed against you because.... reasons? There should be no reason for companies to have this much control over the populace in any way, shape, or form.
And also it has been used time in and time out, over and over again, used as a bludgeon against words.
It is constantly abused as a tool to punish wrongthink, and destroy lives.
It's a story that repeats itself like a record on loop. Never-changing and ever-playing.
