YouTube ContentID is still broken and dumb
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to get my music copyrights properly enforced on YouTube.
The problem is that I’ve released pretty much all of my music under CC by-nc-sa, which means that people are free to use it as long as they credit me, use it noncommercially, and also put their content under the CC by-nc-sa license.
However! People never fucking do. It’ll never be credited, is often used in a literal fucking advertisement (EDIT: I got the advertisement taken down without challenge, but it was just someone using my song “Come Out” to advertise disposable placemats for some reason), and is also absolutely never put under the same license.
So, you’d think this would be a perfect use case for YouTube’s copyright enforcement tools, right?
