There’s been a wave of Content ID copyright flags against videos using my track ‘Red’. I’m working to resolve this – but here’s what you should do next.
The claimant details are as follows:
- Copyright Owner: QNT
- Artist: H-name
- Track: Ibada
- YouTube music video of claimant track: https://youtu.be/MwOwC_6kpfg
The claimant video appears to use about 50 seconds of my track ‘Red’ as an introduction to the main music video. My music has been used inappropriately, and so I am working to resolve this issue.
If you’ve received a claim against your video – please dispute the claim, and use my library page as evidence for my music: https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/red. I’m hoping that with enough counter-claims (including from me), we can resolve this for everyone quickly.
Content ID is a real pain for Creative Commons creators like myself. I try my best to keep my tracks out of fingerprinting services like Content ID, but it’s people like this that make life difficult. Please, please please do not redistribute my music through online services that upload to Content ID – even if you attribute me in the upload, it destroys the usefulness of the track for everyone else, and it destroys my soul a fraction each time. ?
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Scott.
Hey Scott! I’m working on a holiday episode for my podcast and would like to use your music. Can you tell me more about what services create problems with or use Content ID or other fingerprinting services? Just want to make sure before I create and release the episode that it doesn’t create more problems for you!
Typical. And of course it’s a rap crap video. In Arabic, no less. Just so you’ll know, I don’t do this kind of thing. What I download, I keep well to myself. I DO NOT re-upload ANYTHING to anywhere, regardless of where that might be. I’m not a content producer, so I’m mostly just downloading this music to listen to (and it is very listenable on its own 🙂 ). If I ever share anything, it will be the link to the artist’s own YouTube video featuring the song. What the recipient does after that is on them and is NOT my responsibility. I hope you can get this problem nipped in the bud, so to speak. I’ve been seeing and hearing way too much of this nonsense going on and it irritates me intensely. And thank you very much for the free tunes. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve gotten from you so far.
