You're probably not using that keyboard correctly...
(Just sayin'...)

Wouldn't surprise me...
 
I suppose I could start a post in the Techniques forum... I will make the post title something like, "A Rather Protracted Discussion About Using Keyboards."

Sound like like lyrics to a song I heard once.
You sure you're not plagiarising comments😗

And the bad news is...
 
The adverts are back on my music vid, so I've deleted it.
 
I've also e-mailed youtube expressing my disappointment, which will more than likely go straight into the trash.
 
I'm now looking at where else I can post my vids...

I thought this was about a copyright claim...   if it's just a moan about adverts appearing on youtube vids, then.. that's the nature of youtube and every other free use service on the internet.
 
Yes, they're annoying, but there is a close X on every ad.

Yes, it is about someone claiming that I have breached copyright, when plainly I haven't. It's my music and my video footage.

I gotta study up on this because it could potentially screw up some plans I have. Very disappointing. I may have to pay for some video server space because of this. I jsut don't want to deal with these kinds of greifer clowns.
 ...

If you are interested in protecting and learning what the whole thing is about, the usual $500 dollars and an hour with a nice entertainment lawyer ... is mandatory and a serious concern.
 
Just take care of your end ... and then nail the afflicted, because, I can tell you that the ones that rob the most are always the biggest and the richest!

FWIW, I did some research on the people claiming copyright breach and there was an e-mail address for "licensing." So I penned a polite letter, explaining the full facts of the situation, and I have just received a positive answer back, which includes an apology.
 
The reply explained that YouTube do indeed have an automated melody matching system, although how my electronic track even comes close to a proper song, with lyrics and all, beats me...
 
I also received a notification from YouTube confirming that the copyright claim has been "released."
 
 
Thanks for all the helpful messages of help and support above.
 
cheers

Glad to hear you were dealing with an honest extortionist. Did they ever tell you specifically which of their clients works they thought your creation was infringing?
