Bogus Copyright Strikes to Prey on YouTubers - Rick Beato

[BABMusic]

No one should be allowed to get a copyright strike over Hanz Zimmer's watered-down garbage music -- Zimmer is one of the worst film composers in the industry.

It seems UMG is going after $ anyway they can. Just sad, but it shows you the weight of these former music industry giants.

I don't even know if its UMG themselves, the Content ID scammers they hire are the ones filing the bogus claims every time I've seen. Yes its ultimately their fault for hiring them, but it goes crazy

Some of these content ID scammers go so far as to upload commercially available or even royalty free drum samples and put them in the ContentID system and file strikes. It got real interesting a few years ago when they tried to pull that with the infamous Slate Kick 10 sample

Long ago, I shot an 'unboxing' video of an amp I had received. Just happened to have Ozzy No More Tears playing on the stereo while unpacking the amp. So proud - uploaded the video. And it was flagged over night. Really???

Yup. The cops have been doing this to fight back against these first amendment auditors that going into government buildings to film confrontations. The cops pull out their phones and play a copyrighted song so the auditor cannot post and monetize. Pretty funny in that case
