YouTube's Copyright AI is Attacking ESOTERICA (youtube.com)
It is possible that free music providers are run by government-affiliated corporations, as it is a very easy way to sensor a video or channel or punish a vlogger (by demonetizing his channel). If ever taken to court, they can just say it was an error.
He was flagged for copyright for his 10-second intro clip (Chopin, but a free use, copyright-free version). So he payed to create his own recording using a musician, with effects on the sounds to distinguish it from other recordings. YouTube flagged it for copyright.
False flags by AI. Highjack and steal all the monetization from his channel. A 'completely broken and unfair situation.'
The false copyright claim is being made by Universal Music Group, the largest music company.
‘What’s clear to me is that YouTube doesn't actually care about its creators.'
Commenter: ‘Dr sledge, as a lawyer i would suggest that you stop sending emails and start sending paper letters. They have an algorithm to trash emails, but paper letters have to be read.’ ... Another: ‘There are services that let you send secure email that verifies with receipt, when it is opened. Proton is one that I know of off the top of my head.’
'My husband is a musician and it is crazy what is going with AI and the music copywrites. They have actual companies using AI to steal music, rifts, and so forth from creators who were just sharing something they made, then the companies copywrite it (if the creator hadn't yet) and claim it as theirs. A new one he discovered today was AI stealing videos of creators playing guitar, slapping a new face on the person, and then monetizing the videos as theirs. It is way out of hand and killing music creation. They finally had a platform to share their music without record companies owning the rights - and now they have to fight AI for their own music.'
‘I was copywrite flagged for the rhythmic sound of my forging hammer striking work rhythmically on my anvil and of course they stole half the dollar and a half I made from the video’
‘This happened to me with moonlight sonata that I performed and recorded on my Clavinova, took the wind out of my sails and I have not made a video since! ’
'Since YT switched to AI for its copyright checking, it's been impossible to teach with YT, as well. Over half of my videos, recorded and uploaded to YT with the "unlisted" tag for my university students during the pandemic, were blocked due to copyright - even though they should have been "fair use" under classroom policy.'
