content: Hi Guys, Thought you may help shed light on this. I uploaded a video on YouTube today and got a mail.Looks like they were saying that I have copy righted music in my video. Funny I do not have music in any of my videos.The Content ID claim is from a company called Believe music. I have not filed a dispute yet and on the way out, just wondering if anyone has this happen before, it is my first.

content: I never have, but I do have quite a dislike for copyright and patent trolls. I do believe that any music in your video is a figment of their imagination.....Google search yields some results on them:https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/34iij2/beware_of_fake_copyright_claims_by_believe_music/http://phishlist.com/beware-of-fake-copyright-claims-by-believe-music-on-youtube/https://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/copyright-claim-by-believe-music-on-youtube-video/166453

content: I had it happen once on one of my videos. I don't recall if it was due to "Believe Music". My video also had no music, just a bunch of white noise from the device I was demonstrating. I submitted a dispute, and clearly some human somewhere must have checked my video because the copyright claim went away after a few days.

content: Thanks. I have disputed the claim so guess we have to wait it out now and see what happens. It was very cold yesterday and had the heat full blast in the shop. The heating duct is just over my head and reeks havoc on the camera with the noise. Darn mic is so sensitive.After doing quite a few Google searches last night at midnight when I got home I see that this group does this a lot. Makes one wonder lol.As far as those artifacts in my video I do not see them at all in the footage on the pc. So something must have happened during the upload or on YouTube.Thanks again all.

content: Quote from: Radio Tech on December 11, 2016, 05:03:57 pmYep, I generally turn the aircon off when shooting videos, especially using the shotgun mic in the Mailbag for example. About to shoot one now and lettign the room cool down first before I swithc off and record for an hour.It's ok if I'm doing behind camera shots with my mouth 30-50cm from the mic, or a lapel mic doing whiteboard stuff, but worth turning off anyway

content: Quote from: EEVblog on December 18, 2016, 11:51:10 pmUnderstand that. I do turn the unit off or set it so it does not come on while shooting.But the day I recorded the video it was a cool 23 degree F (-5 degree C) so just let it run.I can get the shop pretty warm but the floor is suspended and not well insulated. Been meaning to fix that one day.

content: This is not a fault in the copyright checking software. There are reports that some individuals are reporting fake copyright claims to steal your monetization while the claim gets solved by youtube (and that could take a month),Some people disable their videos while the dispute is going on to avoid getting robbed.Here is some infohttp://phishlist.com/beware-of-false-copyright-claims-by-pirames-international-srl-on-youtube/

content: Sadly the only thing that would work is that each false claim results in a suspension on automatic flagging. 1 claim, one day, second claim, 2 days, 3rd claim 3 days and so on. That would quickly result in them not filing false claims, as the penalty would be prohibitive, so they will improve the detection to reduce the false positives. They can still file claims manually, but that will require somebody to put a signature, with the resultant having to pay the counterclaim cost, per request. If there is no penalty for lying, then there is no reason not to do so, it is a way to make money.

content: Complaints against Believe Music for doing this are easy to find on the net.They claim monetisation - which might be a pittance for any given video, but I would think thousands of such pittances would make a decent sum.

content: Make the video private, which will mean no views for them. Then do the dispute, and when it is reviewed you can release it again. Annoying, but they then make no money off it either as well.What might also work, is if they have a US office or representative at some US address, is to work out the lost revenue, and then do a small claims court claim in your local town, and have it served on them. Will cost you the day of your time, the court costs ( all of which you can claim as part of the claim as well), but they have to send a representative to the court as well to counter. You have to pay somebody ( sheriff in their area) to serve them, but they have to pay somebody to come to you.

content: Hey so I just noticed on both it says "visual content" what I wonder if perhaps the intro is what is triggering the match for some reason.Ah, found it! The intro is similar to yours cause they used the same video software which likely they can't copyright ironically.

Since I disputed the copy right claim neither party gets money till the dispute is resolved.

Explains why its a more common thing since it's free on windows....If you want something on the cheaper side PowerDirector is what I use.Glad it's all figured out now anyways!

content: Not that I do much, but I also use PowerDirector. Inexpensive, but pretty decent from what I have used it for. I was able to get all the effects I wanted - and did so by poking around, not by hours of tutorials. It seemed pretty intuitive to me.

content: When the detectors came in I already had a video that blatantly used a copyrighted soundtrackowned by DefJam recordings. The audio of my video was muted, the silent YouTube video was leftonline, and it remained that way for a couple of years.Without any action from me, as there was no dispute, the original audio was reenabled,and has stayed that way ever since.Explain me that one

content: Quote from: Radio Tech on January 15, 2017, 02:43:03 pmIf you would like to keep using that same effect, just reverse it in the duration settings for whatever software you use or even change the colour of it......99.9% of the time that will do it......the algorithm see's the effect and thinks its looking at a commercial or film opening.There are other ways to get this stuff through, slight frame shifting etc, but so many TV productions are done with basic editing software these days, its very easy to use something that some production is using elsewhere in the world.I am involved in the TV industry and see this happen a bit...... YouTube algorithms are very broadCheers
