I connect with lots of different people. No money from it. I mostly use it as a pipeline to announce stuff (an interesting sale, video links, etc.). It’s become more of a PR thing for me.

I got the free Little Alter Boy, Little Primal tap, & Microshift (all AAX) with no problem. Surprised how easy it was.

cool.

Cool. Go Clark. I assume that was your excited Dad. Don’t let him hurt any of the staff on the show 🙂

Fascinating. There’s a lot of musical variety here.
May I stick one in too? This is not commercial composing. Sometimes, I write just for the fun of it. Had some trouble getting the link to load. Hopefully this works 🙂

Thanks Mark:

I may take you up on that offer. I want to first see the results from contesting the false copyright claims at YouTube.

I’ve read that AdRev can be difficult. Their Home Page has a BIG link for contesting false claims. They must get hundreds of complaints. Why should they want to resolve anything? It’s extra work & they lose money. I plan to…

1. Contest present claims at YouTube.
2. Load everything up to a new private YouTube Test Page & see what happens.
3. Attempt to determine the culprits.
4. Decide on a course of action. I may contact you then but I expect this will take time.

Found this link via Wikipedia. Sounds like a lot of work.

Hi Mark:

Thanks for the response. I just found 7-8 more claims on my videos via AdShare & AdRev. I’m not sure the 2 companies aren’t related.

Yes, I’ve had tracks at AudioSparx for years (non-exclusive). I’m aware of the intern story. This year, I got a tiny bit of revenue from AudioSparx Internet Royalties. It seems to be just one tune. Lee said he’s issued a takedown notice. They’ve always been a decent company to deal with.

I’ve been cautious to NOT enter into any agreements authorizing YouTube Content ID. It just seems that “guilty until proven innocent” is a sleazy approach to the problem. Shouldn’t they verify ownership at the Library of Congress before filing fraudulent claims?

I guess I gotta start a new private YouTube channel to test tracks. It’s a few hundred tracks. Gonna be a pain in the butt.

[ENW1]

Wow. Five minutes after I contested the claim with YouTube, the video was up & running again.

It’s gotta be an automated response from YouTube. They must be getting tons of complaints.

Found one of my YouTube videos blocked today…

THE YOUTUBE NOTICE:
“This video contains content from AdShare MG for a Third Party, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”

The YouTube site says AdRev is making the claim. What-the-hell is wrong with this company? They make absolutely no effort to verify copyright claims.

I wrote the music, recorded it in my studio, AND registered it with the Library of Congress. This easy to verify before making false claims of copyright infringement.

This company is begging for a Class Action Suit.

OR…
Is this just a way to force us to join AdRev? Hmmm…

Can I be the quirky neighbor?

[ENW1]

AdRev claimed copyright infringements on several of the audio tracks on my YouTube page. I emailed YouTube that they were my copyrights & it was me, playing the guitar parts in my own studio. The AdRev claim disappeared.

Don’t know why this occurred. I’ve been careful to stay out of libraries with Youtube Content ID agreements that I couldn’t opt out of. I found some negative online chatter about AdRev. They might be legit but it all added-up to give me a “stay-away” feeling.

[ENW1]

Thanks for the reply angopop. Agreed, going back to the mix to correct phasing at the source is best. These tracks are in pretty good shape. I’m just polishing them up. I was just curious how closely tracks are scrutinized by the libraries & their customers.

Oh, man… I thought this was an article about EQ 🙂
