The exact same thing happened to my song "While She Sleeps Instrumental". When I record a song I always bounce an instrumental version. So I decided to do an instrumental playthrough and upload it to my youtube channel. A few months later I got the same letter as you did but from an instrumental company. Basically, they got my track from the internet and uploaded it as their own musical ensemble. I was furious! KZread should create a content-id checker dashboard so that we could see who is claiming what!

@ScubaSteveCanada

Problem is that it's not who uploads first, it's who owns the copyright - he always need to be prepared to defend your copyrights. Some professional recording studios' employees have leaked songs to the Internet prior to an official release. Unscrupulous people will be selling your song and collecting the money before you're even aware.

*You're too nice, Paul. The world needs more people like you!* :)

I don't care about my cloned work except when this same thing happens. KZread took 1 month to remove a record company from a video of mine. The music was something anyone can make in GarageBand around 3 years old, but the video is the important item to me and it all got hijacked like stealing the whole video. I used months on some programming available in WarCraft 3 and the video link is up on the Blizzard site as some fan art and many went to see it. Eventually the record company saw that they couldn't do that hijack longer.

So frustrating but what a class act you’ve been man!!! I’m not sure most people would have been so kind and understanding with this guy. Hope it never happens again!

Amazing story! At least it had a happy ending. You are talented, original and a good (and generous) person. You don´t have anything to fear about. If I personally had the chance to sing one of your tracks I would be pleased to do it! Keep it up! Your lessons are great! I send you a hug!

KZread is screwing contentmakers left and right..

You made so important job! That same thing happened on My song ”new life” and ”young forever” got suddenly striked by a label , and artist name was CXD, who i cant find from anywhere.

KZread did not mess up. Paul hadn't claimed his own track for copyright and content ID when he uploaded it. In other words, he did not notify youtube that this track is his. When the other guy (thief) made his final track with Paul's music, he claimed the copyright! So youtube suggested him as the creator and matched the track. That is why Paul should be a lot more harsh on this guy.

Thanks a bunch for your super videos and lessons, so inspiring and entertaining even to a 69er who only recently picked up a guitar to while away my retirement years.

I am sorry that this happened, but glad that you managed to resolve it so easily. I think you were very generous in letting the fellow who used your track keep that track.

Check-mate, you win!!! Nicely done... Cheers!!!

The whole Facebook ripoff thing is a serious problem. Due to the primitive state of Facebook videos, viral video pages and the like can net millions of views, without even crediting the original author. And even when they do credit the author, it doesn't matter, since it wasn't monetized by the author, and it's on a completely different platform. Initial views count a lot, and when most of them happen on Facebook during the video's infancy, the damage is done, with or without credit. This Facebook malarkey has to stop. Facebook is the entity that could use Content ID and stricter rules, not KZread.

Hello Paul, I’m glad the situation worked out. Thank you for your wonderful content, peace and prosperity. ✌️

Man, I'm really loving your videos.... They are so much more than just a recording of some guy playing a guitar. They have soul and feeling and emotion. Thank you for the effort you put into bringing us this content. PS: I love your cat.

@ldezo

6 жыл бұрын

To be fair, hip hop and electronic musicians usually don't rip off a whole song and simply paste it all in their project, they choose small loops and hits and use them in a creative way to create a completely different experience to the original song. Saying that this kind of collage is a problem is stretching it in my opinion and the opinion of the law. For example, listen to madlib's shades of blue, it is all sample based, but his style and aestetic can undenyably be found and appreciated in the work.

Dimitris Fatisis you would think that the Content ID would reference dates of the original recording to see who had uploaded the audio first.

Speaks volumes about your content that someone try’s to pass it as there own.Its not fair tho

This is an amazing occurrence. You are straight up and I have mad respect for you Paul Davids. Thank you for sharing this experience.
