My nightmare is that someone gets the rights to all of Kevin MacLeod's music and copyright-claims it all. Just think about the thousands of hours of footage that would go down.
I’m afraid to say but as long as there’s money, there’s gonna be money grubbing corporations feeding off of other’s hard work to give the owner its stolen cash.
imagine the sweet revenge when a class action lawsuit goes through and the companies are forced to pay 1500$ to every channel that got falsely claimed.
Actually would work better if it was youtube against [insert "FAT MAN" here]. There would be motivation for YT to not use policys such as these for the "bait and switch/get money from YT" concept used by TH-cam today.
Glad you've found the old projects! I have a suggestion: add all the re-uploaded videos in a single playlist so we can leave it playing at night to give you views
Those tend to show up as non-legit views. A few dedicated fans tried it for my channel and I asked them to stop when they told me because it wasn't helping and can land you in hot water if you have too many showing up. It was easy to see because I'd see 1k views for a day and then a couple days later that would fall to 200 or so views for that same day in the analytics. Revenue was affected as well though it is more volatile and difficult to show an actual trend on a channel as small as mine.
Let us all pray that these re-uploaded videos aren’t flagged as “Duplicate Uploads.” I’ve personally had this problem, and the obstacles seem to increase with every hurtle jumped🙏
This kind of thing scares me so much. I’ve slowly transitioned TH-cam into my main job and it’s terrifying when I see this happening to the channels I’ve watched for years. I really hope you get this sorted Matt!
Caught an article about you on Reclaim the Net. Wanted to say you have my support. Keep fighting Matt, I'm pulling for you and hope you come out on top!
I'm a big fan of your content and I enjoy music videos as well. I have faced similar problems with "royalty-free" music on my channel as well, however not to that extent (thankfully). My takeaway message from all this was as follows: avoid RF music completely, as well as music from libraries that are not plugged to YT tagging system (such as Audioblocks). There are safe solutions to this issue however, but it requires you to put some money into a subscription based service (such as Epidemic Sound), share a part of your revenue from the video (if you become a member of an MCM), or if you buy a non-exclusive license from a company that owns the piece you want to use (I'd recommend Audiomachine). I tried each solution and they work well, but are not cheap to implement. Fingers crossed for you Matt, we're here for you and eagerly waiting for your next video!
Can't you like make a case against youtube for them making false claims about their "copyright free" music? If your work is now being used to earn money from without your consent because youtube failed to make their claims come true?
There is no law against abusing copyright like this, because these companies aren't actually abusing copyright. When they claim videos with copyright free music, they don't send out cease and desist letters and take legal action as described in the DMCA, they just ask yT to do it and they comply, and as such they skip having to prove that their claim is legitimate. When you think about it, no one has a legal right to get paid in ad revenue, to have their videos hosted or even to be able to watch anything. Everything these companies do is within the terms of service, and both parties want to keep it that way.
I think what he’s saying is that Matt could make some sort of case against TH-cam, since they’re the ones who said that the music would be copyright free.
@@bobkerman7003 Unfortunately YT and Sony were not obliged to keep that music copyright free forever. What they've done to Matt is well within their rights. They are arseholes absolutely and this could have been resolved in a fair way. They could have either let all videos uploaded with the music during the time it was free remain as they were, or at least warn the creator in advance they'd have to change the music or risk being claimed upon.
redwest while they can remove the music from the copyright free list, surely they can’t retroactively apply the removal of the copyright free status to old videos that were made when it was legal to use it freely.
So sorry this happened to you man! :( I discovered your channel about a month ago and I've been making my way through your past uploads.

@@trm7782 Why is it y'all keep saying really ignorant shit (must be trump voters) TH-cam is a business not a race not a political party and Damn sure didnt kill 3million jewish people.
@@ElMarlboroMan The Italian Mob was a group of criminal kingpins, often of Italian descent or nationality, who operated in the United States in cities like New Orleans, NYC, Philadelphia and various other east coast cities. We're comparing TH-cam's business practices to the Mob's racketeering and protection payments, among other anti-consumer tactics TH-cam has been using lately. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Mafia WaPo article about the hit on Francesco Cali, a reported mob boss of the Gambino crime family: www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2019/03/15/new-york-mafia-still-active-flashy-mob-hits-decline-witnesses-flip-law-hits-harder/ VICE article on the Mafia, featuring mugshots of notorious Italian-American mob boss, Al Capone: www.vice.com/da/article/kwxbpa/what-happened-to-the-american-mafia-712
Well done for putting in all this effort to sort out TH-cam’s shit, I know it must be an absolute pain in the ass. Can’t wait for the old/new videos- should be very nostalgic!
I've seen this happen to way too many wonderful talented creators like yourself. These copyright claims are absolutely out of control. I've heard about videos getting flagged for music coming out of shops as they passed by and even because someone made music with an automated paper towel dispenser. It sucks to see it happen to you. I think I speak for most, if not all of us, when I say that we will always support you by watching your videos, commenting and engaging with the community that has been created around your videos. They have been a big help with learning KSP and have inspired some truly ambitious and whacky creations. Thank you for your videos, you'll always have my support :)
Hi Matt, I have a sibling who works for Sony Music in the area that works with copyright claims. I am unsure if they are linked to Sony ATV, however I can reach out to them if you feel like it would help.
Yes please, Sony have claimed a small portion of a song in TH-cam's own music library is theirs. It doesn't make any sense, and is going to cause yet more problems for youtube creators.
Yeah, tell him to either destroy it from the inside or quit. Like, what the actual shit, I'm suprised they have any actual real people working there at all considering how many automated "hippity hoppity this is now my property" copyright bots they got running over there. Why do you have to know a guy who knows a guy to get your fucking hard earned money back in a one way legal dispute where only one party is a real person and the other is so uncontactable behind walls of bots that they are tantamount to nigerian scammers? I hope your bud can help, but what kind of dystopian online world do we live in that this is how copyright disputes are handled, and the only way to contact ANY real person is through a commenter who just so happens to know a guy at the company? There's a reason everything is bots and they make it so hard to contact real people. it's because they're literally making money off this shit, what incentive do they have to be fair and talk it out with those they falsely strike?
Thanks for being one of the best creators in my sub feed. I always get excited when I see a new KSP upload by you! I'll try and re-watch all the re-uploaded videos to support you through this situation. Keep being awesome Matt!
Wow, so sorry your going through this, I had one of my older channels end up getting shut down for similar circumstances. I pretty much gave up on TH-cam after that. I really hope you don't suffer the fate, good luck.
@@whitedawn2122 This is a TH-cam and Google (Alphabet) thing only. Not enforced by any law whats so ever. It is purely Google fucking people over by their private regulations. No laws involved. Capitalism at its best!
This sucks, youtube as a company should be able to figure out if a company is claiming their stuff from a vid or if they just want the money. They should also have a way to protect content creators with TH-cam music library stuff in their vids if something is claimed when the song is removed. Other than that, they basically give the company the advantage in these cases and makes creators scared to try and appeal so they can’t do anything. It sucks that the leeches that are today’s big modern companies have latched themselves onto your channel for their personal gain.
Cant, they can only say "do not disturb" after first contact. Sony cant make sewage (sue) out of an honest question from sombody without first (insert timestamp arguments here) contacting the "harraser". If they give an actual confirmation in the meantime its still probably a valid Do Not Disturb letter. Not a lawyer
You should make a playlist for the reuploads so we can watch them all. That way even if we don’t necessarily want to rewatch the videos, we can have them on as background noise and still get you views
So sorry to hear about this, you were someone who inspired me and led me to get KSP. Maybe this could serve as inspiration for a new video where you design a youtube play button and smash it with a mech/rocket/asteroid(?). Thanks again for your awesome videos. Good luck in the fight.
Do you even know the benefits of copyright? Would would I make content if it can be copied and sold/redistributed for cheaper/free at no cost. TH-cam doesnt enforce it correctly, but it's sort of kind of a little itty bitty bit important .
@@andrewkvk1707 Do you realize that this is the current state of things? If what you do has any significant popularity, it can be pirated. This video included. The many reasons for creating something in the absence of copyright are the same as today. When copyright law was created, many exceptions were made to maximize it's benefit while minimizing the artificial scarcity generated by this artificial monopoly. Like, for example, anyone can read your book for free in a library. You can show or lend a book to a friend. etc. Basically, where the marginal cost of a "copy" was close to zero, the copyright law would be absent, otherwise it would create a huge distortion in the market to the detriment of everyone but a few. The word and technology since then has moved on, but copyright law has moved backwards to the benefit of a few big players, but for a net social utility loss. We have the technology to have a 24h/d library with all the knowledge and culture of mankind accessible for basically free, but copyright law prevents it. Nowadays, I'm talking to friends across the globe as often as I talk to friends by my side, but I can only show copyrighted works easily to the ones on my side. Draconian copyright laws also affect creators. The case in this video is not an exception. The right to remix things and create new things from that is generally stiffed by the current regulatory environment.
I think I speak on behalf of all your viewers and fans saying that I am super grateful for your effort to maintain this amazing channel and videos of yours. Keep up the amazing work Matt
It‘s an epidemic, right now there‘s something similar going down in the SCP community It‘s crazy to me how easy it is to just claim content as your own and (let‘s be honest) steal the ad revenue
This is so bad youtube, fix it. This poor man just got all his creations demonetized. I would love to say some cursewords, but i'm keeping it nice. This is really not fair of them, that big company's can just snack off someones weeks, months, maybe even years of work. Matt, I'm so sorry this is happening, and i hope everything gets better soon. Good luck.
Is it possible that TH-cam got worse and worse over the last year? I see more and more "Copyright Claims" Videos. Are you present on other Platforms like Dailymotion or so?
Matt, thanks for not giving up and leaving, your content is always so much fun. I'm glad you're jumping through hoops and getting these re-uploaded. This is so ridiculous of TH-cam, to take their provided music out of the library that they've provided for this very thing. I'll re-watch all of the re-uploads. Well, the KSP ones anyway! haha
We support you all the way! I really think that TH-camrs should organize together and fight these things as a group, maybe youtube would be forced to listen than..
Keep it going. I have watched may of your videos over again as they offer a great refresher of how to do things and your spin on things is easy to understand. Clearly you have a passion and please do not let this recent hiccup deter you from creating great videos.
Yes thank you, best comment so far. The Everyday Astronaut has said so many times that creators or really anyone can use his audio tracks and they are all really enjoyable. He doesn't require attribution but will obviously happily have it mentioned. Always awesome videos, don't ditch sound tracks just because of some greedy company. Sound tracks add to the quality of your content.
I've been watching this from the wings. As a casual fan of your KSP videos, I'm going to throw you a sub, and give you a promise to rewatch every video you put up multiple times. Keep fighting.
This is just another reason why we need more competition in the video streaming market. TH-cam knows there is nothing else out there that even gets close to its popularity and thus can treat everyone like a pile of poo and not lose users. It really has gone downhill in recent years. Hopefully everything gets sorted out quickly for you Matt.
Hello matt i would just like to say, i love anything to do with space and playing ksp has brought me into my comfort zone, however i really struggled at first to understand how to reach other planets and watching you has helped me so much. I was doing my own Moho mission using your video as a guide and while i was in the middle of it you had to delete the video because of this and i was gutted. But thanks to your teachings i have managed to reach Moho. So i would like to say thank you and please keep up the good work and don't let them get you down!
Once again, best of luck Matt. All of this copyright stuff is completely uncalled for. Hopefully you can somehow win this little "battle," or whatever. We're here for you!
Always loved and still love your ksp videos, keep it up. I understand it’s quite hard to see all your hard work claimed by some else. Don’t give and use it to get ‘stronger’!
Don't fret, Matt. I'm a recent subscriber (I subbed a few weeks before this started) and have a habit falling asleep to your KSP videos, perhaps hoping I'll absorb something through osmosis. Even though I have gone through most of your videos, they imminently re-watchable as they are packed with fantastic information presented in a humorous manner. Thanks for all you do, and don't sweat this.
A few years ago I heard a story where one of these music companies pulled a copyright strike against a video featuring BIRD SONG (i.e. an audio recording of birds chirping). In that case the strike was resolved favorably, but it demonstrates the sheer greed and stupidity of these music companies. It's like if the audio resembles music in any way, they think it belongs to them, even if performed by animals doing their own thing.
Uploading all the old videos at once will fill ones inbox for sure, but in my opinion it is easier to deal with than dealing with notification about old video every single week.
Personally, I'm looking forward to re-watching them! Although I'm sorry it has to be under these circumstances. You know you have lots of support! I think I speak for all of us when I say that we'll help however we can. Good luck, Matt!
I'll be subbed for now, since Its all I can do, shared the info previously about what happened though, I'll share this later on, on social media's that I constantly check since well helping them that need that support, its something I've wanted to do my entire life, no kidding.
Every so often I think of starting to become a content creator. Then I think of all the issues I would have to face, and I throw up my hands and walk away.

@@trm7782 Why is it y'all keep saying really ignorant shit (must be trump voters) TH-cam is a business not a race not a political party and Damn sure didnt kill 3million jewish people.
@@ElMarlboroMan The Italian Mob was a group of criminal kingpins, often of Italian descent or nationality, who operated in the United States in cities like New Orleans, NYC, Philadelphia and various other east coast cities. We're comparing TH-cam's business practices to the Mob's racketeering and protection payments, among other anti-consumer tactics TH-cam has been using lately.

Well done for putting in all this effort to sort out TH-cam’s shit, I know it must be an absolute pain in the ass. Can’t wait for the old/new videos- should be very nostalgic!
I wish that Sony, as a corporation would just cease to exist.
But Spiderman 😭
Sony wouuld cease to exist if you stop buying their equipment and artists from Sony Music.
@@s4dg Just have Disney buy Sony.
@@dotancohen But then YT would probably fall too, because Sony is a major stock holder in the company.
@@ryan_n05 From where do you see Sony as a stockholder in Google or Alphabet?
I've seen this happen to way too many wonderful talented creators like yourself. These copyright claims are absolutely out of control. I've heard about videos getting flagged for music coming out of shops as they passed by and even because someone made music with an automated paper towel dispenser. It sucks to see it happen to you. I think I speak for most, if not all of us, when I say that we will always support you by watching your videos, commenting and engaging with the community that has been created around your videos. They have been a big help with learning KSP and have inspired some truly ambitious and whacky creations. Thank you for your videos, you'll always have my support :)
Hi Matt, I have a sibling who works for Sony Music in the area that works with copyright claims. I am unsure if they are linked to Sony ATV, however I can reach out to them if you feel like it would help.
Do it now! Tell him/her to bring down the company from the inside!
Yes please, Sony have claimed a small portion of a song in TH-cam's own music library is theirs.
It doesn't make any sense, and is going to cause yet more problems for youtube creators.
Yeah, tell him to either destroy it from the inside or quit.
Like, what the actual shit, I'm suprised they have any actual real people working there at all considering how many automated "hippity hoppity this is now my property" copyright bots they got running over there. Why do you have to know a guy who knows a guy to get your fucking hard earned money back in a one way legal dispute where only one party is a real person and the other is so uncontactable behind walls of bots that they are tantamount to nigerian scammers?
I hope your bud can help, but what kind of dystopian online world do we live in that this is how copyright disputes are handled, and the only way to contact ANY real person is through a commenter who just so happens to know a guy at the company? There's a reason everything is bots and they make it so hard to contact real people. it's because they're literally making money off this shit, what incentive do they have to be fair and talk it out with those they falsely strike?
Thanks for being one of the best creators in my sub feed. I always get excited when I see a new KSP upload by you! I'll try and re-watch all the re-uploaded videos to support you through this situation. Keep being awesome Matt!
Don’t get complacent! This is a big issue and shouldn’t be chalked up to “it’s how it is”. This isn’t how it should be.
Wow, so sorry your going through this, I had one of my older channels end up getting shut down for similar circumstances.
I pretty much gave up on TH-cam after that. I really hope you don't suffer the fate, good luck.
Uploads video: *has no music*
Sony: hmmmm
Same Video: *has talking*
Sony: *its free real estate*
ШHITΣDΔШΠ Sony: copyrights silence
United States government: *shrugs* I don’t see a problem with that...
@@whitedawn2122 This is a TH-cam and Google (Alphabet) thing only. Not enforced by any law whats so ever. It is purely Google fucking people over by their private regulations. No laws involved. Capitalism at its best!
This sucks, youtube as a company should be able to figure out if a company is claiming their stuff from a vid or if they just want the money. They should also have a way to protect content creators with TH-cam music library stuff in their vids if something is claimed when the song is removed. Other than that, they basically give the company the advantage in these cases and makes creators scared to try and appeal so they can’t do anything. It sucks that the leeches that are today’s big modern companies have latched themselves onto your channel for their personal gain.

Makes no sense to me
Probably they work for sony
I plan on rewatching all of your old videos
Seriously reach out to Sony and see if they are actually the ones claiming your videos.
yes, *yells* "MATT,MATTTT"
Their lawyers will probably say 'yes' and perhaps file a harassment charge for contacting them.
Cant, they can only say "do not disturb" after first contact. Sony cant make sewage (sue) out of an honest question from sombody without first (insert timestamp arguments here) contacting the "harraser". If they give an actual confirmation in the meantime its still probably a valid Do Not Disturb letter.
Not a lawyer
it's outubes automatic content ID system, it's not sony claiming the videos, btu they just reject the answer...
Isnt the auto content id system in place with contracts between yt and sony?
Wishing you the best through all this terribleness, You’ll come through we know it!
What if we all go to sony and just mass report them
You should make a playlist for the reuploads so we can watch them all. That way even if we don’t necessarily want to rewatch the videos, we can have them on as background noise and still get you views
Matt: YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!!
Sony: I dont even know who you are...
Matt's fans: "You will!"

Sony: RAIN MONEY!!
Treasurer: On who?
Sony: LAWYERS!
So sorry to hear about this, you were someone who inspired me and led me to get KSP. Maybe this could serve as inspiration for a new video where you design a youtube play button and smash it with a mech/rocket/asteroid(?). Thanks again for your awesome videos. Good luck in the fight.
This is why copy right shall be abolished! You are my favorite youtuber by far
Do you even know the benefits of copyright? Would would I make content if it can be copied and sold/redistributed for cheaper/free at no cost. TH-cam doesnt enforce it correctly, but it's sort of kind of a little itty bitty bit important .
@@andrewkvk1707 Do you realize that this is the current state of things? If what you do has any significant popularity, it can be pirated. This video included. The many reasons for creating something in the absence of copyright are the same as today.
When copyright law was created, many exceptions were made to maximize it's benefit while minimizing the artificial scarcity generated by this artificial monopoly. Like, for example, anyone can read your book for free in a library. You can show or lend a book to a friend. etc. Basically, where the marginal cost of a "copy" was close to zero, the copyright law would be absent, otherwise it would create a huge distortion in the market to the detriment of everyone but a few. The word and technology since then has moved on, but copyright law has moved backwards to the benefit of a few big players, but for a net social utility loss.
We have the technology to have a 24h/d library with all the knowledge and culture of mankind accessible for basically free, but copyright law prevents it. Nowadays, I'm talking to friends across the globe as often as I talk to friends by my side, but I can only show copyrighted works easily to the ones on my side. Draconian copyright laws also affect creators. The case in this video is not an exception. The right to remix things and create new things from that is generally stiffed by the current regulatory environment.
I think I speak on behalf of all your viewers and fans saying that I am super grateful for your effort to maintain this amazing channel and videos of yours. Keep up the amazing work Matt
They should of thought about the music before removing it and then copyrighting u. But at least ur making a comeback.
My heart goes out to you!. I haven't seen the cause of their claims. it sucks that it is a pain to have licenced music.... best of luck to you
Most of the songs are listed as royalty free, is that not a thing anymore?
Well, apparently, these days you can claim anything on TH-cam, and get away with it. Even if you don't own the content you claim.
Yeah they’re still royalty free, but companies can still claim without anything bad happening to them
It‘s an epidemic, right now there‘s something similar going down in the SCP community
It‘s crazy to me how easy it is to just claim content as your own and (let‘s be honest) steal the ad revenue
@@koryfredrick1164 epidemic sound??
Ego Matthisum epidemic as in a disease or virus, really just something large and with far reaching consequences.
This is so bad youtube, fix it. This poor man just got all his creations demonetized. I would love to say some cursewords, but i'm keeping it nice. This is really not fair of them, that big company's can just snack off someones weeks, months, maybe even years of work. Matt, I'm so sorry this is happening, and i hope everything gets better soon. Good luck.
Matt Lowne: my channel got copyright claimed.
Me: * sad gamer noises *
Definitely gonna rewatch all your videos, keep smiling Matt things will get better and you've got this! :)
Good that you found that thing! Hope Sony won’t bother you anymore
It'll be fun to watch all the great videos over again! A shame it's not under better circumstances but I'll happily watch again.
Is it possible that TH-cam got worse and worse over the last year? I see more and more "Copyright Claims" Videos. Are you present on other Platforms like Dailymotion or so?
Matt, thanks for not giving up and leaving, your content is always so much fun. I'm glad you're jumping through hoops and getting these re-uploaded. This is so ridiculous of TH-cam, to take their provided music out of the library that they've provided for this very thing. I'll re-watch all of the re-uploads. Well, the KSP ones anyway! haha
Idea: lets comment our original comment from these videos into the recent upload of the same videos
Think of all the dead memes we can revive
@@koryfredrick1164 we just invented a time machine
We support you all the way! I really think that TH-camrs should organize together and fight these things as a group, maybe youtube would be forced to listen than..

"TH-cam is infamously apathetic when it comes to this situation"

"he know da big words"
Keep on doing your great work with Ksp. You have been an inspiration to all of us. It's so sad that this is happening to you. Appreciate ya!
TH-cam stinky
Uh Oh!
*sTiNkY*
Keep it going. I have watched may of your videos over again as they offer a great refresher of how to do things and your spin on things is easy to understand. Clearly you have a passion and please do not let this recent hiccup deter you from creating great videos.

Matt, I'm so sorry. I'm a big fan and I do re-watch your old videos. I will certainly make an effort to help bring up numbers on your re-releases.
You can use everyday astronaut songs hes said so many times
Yes thank you, best comment so far. The Everyday Astronaut has said so many times that creators or really anyone can use his audio tracks and they are all really enjoyable. He doesn't require attribution but will obviously happily have it mentioned.
Always awesome videos, don't ditch sound tracks just because of some greedy company. Sound tracks add to the quality of your content.
I will be re-watching your videos. I try and support where I can.
Why don’t you use Ksp music it’s also good!
ksp doesnt have an ost, its all royalty free music that would probably have the same case
Sony: KSP MUSIC = OUR MUSIC, GIVE US UR MONEY CUZ U DUM
Dude, you are a real trooper. If they nailed ALL my vids like that, I would have walked away. You get KUDOS, my man. Way to hang in there!
Welcome to sovietube
There all videos are ours but not yours
Recovered well all things considering I'm new to the channel so now I get extra videos a day from you and dont need to binge thanks TH-cam
I've been watching this from the wings. As a casual fan of your KSP videos, I'm going to throw you a sub, and give you a promise to rewatch every video you put up multiple times. Keep fighting.
Glad you got that hard drive, feels bad, sucks that this happens to people. Keep on makin’ that juicy content Matt.
This is just another reason why we need more competition in the video streaming market. TH-cam knows there is nothing else out there that even gets close to its popularity and thus can treat everyone like a pile of poo and not lose users. It really has gone downhill in recent years. Hopefully everything gets sorted out quickly for you Matt.
Hello matt i would just like to say, i love anything to do with space and playing ksp has brought me into my comfort zone, however i really struggled at first to understand how to reach other planets and watching you has helped me so much.
I was doing my own Moho mission using your video as a guide and while i was in the middle of it you had to delete the video because of this and i was gutted. But thanks to your teachings i have managed to reach Moho. So i would like to say thank you and please keep up the good work and don't let them get you down!
I'll be sure to watch and upvote the videos when they come out.
Once again, best of luck Matt. All of this copyright stuff is completely uncalled for. Hopefully you can somehow win this little "battle," or whatever. We're here for you!
Always loved and still love your ksp videos, keep it up. I understand it’s quite hard to see all your hard work claimed by some else. Don’t give and use it to get ‘stronger’!
Just discovered your channel, so I can wait for the reposts. Will start there
I'll make sure to rewatch all your reuploads + toggle off adblock
Don't fret, Matt. I'm a recent subscriber (I subbed a few weeks before this started) and have a habit falling asleep to your KSP videos, perhaps hoping I'll absorb something through osmosis. Even though I have gone through most of your videos, they imminently re-watchable as they are packed with fantastic information presented in a humorous manner. Thanks for all you do, and don't sweat this.
A few years ago I heard a story where one of these music companies pulled a copyright strike against a video featuring BIRD SONG (i.e. an audio recording of birds chirping). In that case the strike was resolved favorably, but it demonstrates the sheer greed and stupidity of these music companies. It's like if the audio resembles music in any way, they think it belongs to them, even if performed by animals doing their own thing.
So sorry you're having to go through this! Love from the Wizards with Guns guys!
chuck all the reuploads in a playlist and i'll watch them at every given opportunity
Uploading all the old videos at once will fill ones inbox for sure, but in my opinion it is easier to deal with than dealing with notification about old video every single week.
This is why I use either remix or 8 bit music for my videos
Matt, you made the headlines on Slashdot, once upon a time this was a huge geek achievement :-)
I'll be ready to rewatch and like all your new old video to help your rebuild 👍
Personally, I'm looking forward to re-watching them! Although I'm sorry it has to be under these circumstances. You know you have lots of support! I think I speak for all of us when I say that we'll help however we can. Good luck, Matt!
I loved all your KSP videos. I wuld watch again gladly. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see you in KSP2!
Well, at least we're able to see the old good videos, and trust me, many of us don't mind seeing them again
Wish you all the best with this issue! I find it ironic that after watching this I got a Sony advert at the end. O.o
I'll be subbed for now, since Its all I can do, shared the info previously about what happened though, I'll share this later on, on social media's that I constantly check since well helping them that need that support, its something I've wanted to do my entire life, no kidding.
there needs to be another youtube video site, with people that have common sense with copyright strikes
Every so often I think of starting to become a content creator. Then I think of all the issues I would have to face, and I throw up my hands and walk away.
