Last month I uploaded a video I made with some footage from the Busco Beach trip. A few hours after posting it I received word from Youtube that the music I used (.38 Special) had a copyright claim. They would not let me post the video unless I took one of several courses of action such as muting the audio, switching the audio with a small list of approved songs or....disputing the copyright claim.
I figured what the heck...I put quite a bit of time into creating the video and I really liked the way it came out. Anyway, I disputed the claim. You have to complete a short form indicating why you think you should be able to use their music. I wrote a quick note indicating that my video would be promoting the artists' music and it would be beneficial to both of us. I also indicated that I have purchased music as a result of hearing it on Youtube videos.
Well, today the third party (UMG- Universal Music Group) reached a decision about my "Busco Barrage" video and decided it should be yanked.
So there you have it.
!@#$%!@#!....
So much for trying to make my videos just a little more watchable...I guess I also need to make sure that I do not purchase any Artists signed under UMG. After all, I won't be able to play it for the world to hear on my internet videos.
