I relent. Time for me to jump on the Youtube Hate Bandwagon.
Three of my videos got Content-ID'd. One was a fair cop, I had MDK music in the background, unrelated to the content completely. Acknowledged. One was for a piece of music that, as far as I'm aware, is a public domain recording of "Mars, Bringer of War" by Holst. I disputed it, my dispute was rejected, so now I have to acknowledge my apparent horribleness, or be prepared to take the matter to court? Fuck that, have your petty victory, random German company.
The final one was triggered by the music of the game I was covering. Not me using the BGM in some other part of the video, but the actual BGM during gameplay footage. It gets better. The content identified the music as "Hannes Seifert-Wacky Kart: WKTrack 1" administered by "Rebeat Digital GmbH".
OK.
Firstly, the game being shown is Skunny Kart. If Copysoft stole the music (and I wouldn't be surprised if they did), then it's hardly my problem.
Secondly, Wacky Kart was a prototype. It had no music. None appeared during play, and none was hidden in the data files.
So screw you Rebeat Digital GmbH.
Sigh.
Everything sucks.
