The Lofi Girl streams were recently taken down by a false DMCA claim. https://twitter.com/lofigirl/status/1546601374527508480 https://twitter.com/lofigirl/status/1546601374527508480 After public outcry, YouTube issued an apology and banned the claimant. https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2022/07/12/lofi-girl-returns-youtube-apologizes-for-removing-popular-music-stream-due-to-abusive-copyright-notice/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2022/07/12/lofi-girl-... While I'm an occasional stream listener, I've been mostly away from tech for a month and only noticed the coverage in this video from TAETRO. "a big problem for music producers on youtube" - TAETRO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A49EKpd5rrE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A49EKpd5rrE They talk about the Lofi Girl situation and also describe the same issue Fran describes but with sample-based music production (as opposed to sample-based video production). Even if you're using non-exclusive, royalty free samples, you can get screwed by another producer using the same samples. "My Video Was Demonetized by 16 Record Labels...I'm Pissed" - Rick Beato https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NnrWrkKZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NnrWrkKZM This is another take on the broader issue of hyper aggressive algorithms being poor judges of Fair Use. Rick has a few great videos on the subject (any many more on making music).
