oh no oh no it gets worse... I literally just got an email saying they rejected the dispute. They are obviously wrong about this and anyone at YouTube with half a brain can tell you this, but how am I supposed to get someone at YouTube to care??
anyway, if you want to hear me rant for an hour about what I'm dealing with trying to fight this obviously invalid (i'm being generous here) Content ID claim on some of my YouTube videos, join me tomorrow at 10am Pacific youtube.com/OLK2re0LfrQ
this system is inherently rigged to the advantage of copyright holders, except it's also extremely easy for a supposed copyright holder to be malicious, or at best just be wrong or make a mistake, and there's very little a content creator can do
So I've been spending my Saturday night preparing for tomorrow's livestream by reading up on all the details of YouTube's Content ID system and reading the licenses of various royalty free music sites, and all it's doing is making me more and more angry about the whole system...
I'd recommend the device flow for it tbh, I've seen it used that way a bunch. The oob thing is more for installed apps that can monitor the address bar. With a command line app, especially over ssh, that doesn't really work.
Looks like the folks I need to actually ping are @orchtweets
I just realized the 2nd content ID claim was from a completely different comedy set, so it's their label that used this song in their outro for a couple different comedians and now YouTube is flagging older videos
Stripe invoices are surprisingly effective. If you want something a little fancier then I've had good luck with Invoice Ninja, payments processed by Stripe of course
I have every confidence @artlist_io will be able to sort this out, it's just so frustrating that the system works this way. I've been using this song for over a year, and now suddenly YouTube thinks this guy's comedy album published last week is the source of this song?
PSA to fellow creators who use @artlist_io you might want to avoid using "Anthem of a Quirky Hipster" for a while... Seems like a comedian published the song in a comedy album and now YouTube is flagging any use of it thinking he owns the copyright to it.

I am just happy to exist almost entirely outside of the superbubble. Also interesting that NBC chose to prioritize that over olympic figure skating tonight.
Eh I did my livestream at the normal time and had more than average viewers. Also I ignored the internet the rest of the day. I'll catch the summary of the good ads tomorrow.

Yeah for sure, and frankly I take far more photos with my iPhone because it's always just right there. But if I'm putting any thought into it I will always take a real camera instead.
