Twitch: "Hey, just warning you after your stream, some of the stuff you played was content claimed licensed music! Be careful next time >:("
Me: "Oh well I DID play a Nickelback song during stream so yeah that makes sense."
goes to check
...It did not content claim the Nickelback song. But it DID content claim the Gameboy Tetris music.
Keep on keepin' on, AI content claiming.
I looked it up.
It's literally just the entirety of GB Tetris Track A, with a beat under it. Not the most intense beat or anything. Not to like, shit on these artists ftr, or the idea of sampling video game music in general. But it's literally JUST the original song with a new beat. And it shouldn't get my shit flagged lol that is so stupid
I had this happen to me on Youtube! I uploaded the 18 hour archive of the Sonic 06 charity marathon a friend and I did in 2012, and the "stage clear" music got claimed because some kid had republished it on Youtube as a "hip hop beat." Which means the dude took this song:
...and put a hihat ride under it. It was tagged like he was apparently trying to sell it, which made sense, if he tried to claim it.
I submitted a dispute that was effectively a much more polite version of "hey, what the fuck? you can't do that" and they released the claim.
Other fun things I've run into through my music channel:
- A known copyright troll in Germany who apparently claimed every version of Aerith's Theme from the PS1 version of Final Fantasy VII because he released an album of "lullabies" that were all just stolen songs, and one of them was a cover of Aerith's Theme.
- Someone in Finland (I believe?) was claiming the credits music from A Link to the Past because they released an album of them singing over all the music using an awful quality dollar store desktop mic.
It's a wild and weird world out there and people will try to get away with any stupid bullshit if you let them.
