    I don't want to minimize your negative feelings, I just wanted to acknowledge that you have built a great community. This platform is so tricky with the potential legal issues. The things that Ren went through with Sick Boi show no one is exempt from fine print bullshit. You add value and shine a spotlight on artists you respect. There is no negative to the content you produce. Try to remember that.

    Hang in there! You're such a thoughtful, considerate guy, it's a shame you would be treated harshly. I don't understand why some channels have so much trouble when others of much lower quality seem to have no issues at all and don't bother pausing or fading the videos at all. TH-cam needs to straighten out the issue. The recording labels should be thankful for the free publicity the artists are getting, not throwing up impediments.

    One suggestion: if you receive a reaction request to a band or artist that you haven’t reacted to previously, is to see if their are other reactions to that song or performance on TH-cam ( and just watch the first 5-10 seconds to see if the reactor used any kind of masking). If there aren’t any other reactions then I would be cautious about doing that reaction. Also, have you considered starting a Patreon channel, like so many other TH-cam reactors do?

      @@KansaSCaymanS that is good advice but there are lots of reactors who use a filter all the time so they don't hassle with it at all. That of course gets the video through but not as enjoyable to watch especially when it is as a matter of course.

    That's anything but nice to hear, of course.
    Sony, Warner and Amuse are the 3 I can think of right away that are among those that can quickly become dangerous for the existence of a channel. A topic that will never stop and will probably always end to the disadvantage of the ‘small’ (in comparison) reaction channels. I understand why these companies do it, but how they deal with it is certainly debatable. Because you have a good point in that your videos contain your own work, even if it's based on other people's material. And the fact that this is also a kind of free promotion for the artists they have under contract has unfortunately not yet been realized by a some in their craving for more money. :(

      I mean, there are companies & bands out there that use channels like yours to their advantage instead of shooting against them. The positive examples are there! Take Electric Callboy for example, who actively offer to get in touch with them if one of your videos about them is blocked. THEY will take care that it gets unblocked because they know that the reach of YT can be gigantic.

    Disputing a copyright claim is always risky. Once you do that, the copyright holder only has two choices: relinquish their claim (unlikely IMO) or issue a takedown request which always results in a strike per YT policy. It's essentially forcing the hand of the party with all of the power. I would highly suggest never disputing a claim going forward.
    The whole "fair use" thing is very complex because not all countries have a similar concept in their copyright laws. Even if you were in the right about fair use the only solution would be to litigate, which I can't imagine would ever be feasible for any small channel.

    • @Sohum
      @Sohum  14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That's really good advice to be honest. I think forgoing disputes may be the path forward... I would say 75% of disputes get rejected, but the upside from the 25 is not worth the strike... It's just so hard to accurately risk assess because I know it's also possible to be struck even without disputing
      Yeah... no thanks to litigation, that's a battle for the supreme court here in the US, not me haha

    While unsettling this is very common among reactors. Watch other reactions and maybe reach out to others but there are all these little tricks that they use that avoid getting copyrights.
