Youtube and Them Flagging my Music

[Jagerbomb52]

OK so every once in a while youtube decides I have copyright music in my videos. I pay a fee to Audioblocks - Royalty-Free Music, Sound Effects, and Loops for the right to use copyright music in my videos.
When my video gets flagged I have to file a dispute with youtube and wait 31 days for the outcome. I always win but the 31 days are days that my videos get the most hits and I am not getting revenue from it that I should be.
Today I won a dispute on one of my videos, but I had another video a day later with the same music and it is still flagged. I don't get their bulsh!t
Now they want me to file another claim and wait another 31 days.
Getting pissed
Rant over

YT has been attacked from all sides for posting SO MUCH CR'd material. Soooo a while back they deployed S/W that supposedly scans their VAST library for violations -- their do-dilegence to thwart lawsuits & complaints. Google owns YT, so folks think they have deep-pockets.

It's crappy SW, inaccurate, false-positives, etc., etc. I used royalty-free sounds and got a notice. I changed it. Then, I got a notice for an underwater video using what I thought was obscure meditation music that fit great with swimming with sea turtles. I was guilty but I found a fix, (but not for revenue-generating videos!). Add a 2nd, subtle soundtrack. Drones: wind noise. Snorkeling: water sounds. It's just enough to throw the S/W off!

I do NOT profess to know much about how Youtube handles CR issues. I use the stock music that comes with my video editor thinking I'm safe. Maybe I've been in the clouds too long without oxygen thinking that if I were flagged, it would be by a person thinking he/she owned the rights to the music. I guess that's a dumb assumption. After all, I can't see Eric Clapton or Elton John browsing Youtube for CR violations.

I like your approach - Fool 'em with your footwork and baffle 'em with your BS

I decided after I wrote that rant that nothing is going to change on YTube so I ended up signing up on Vimeo Plus. I have never had any of my music flagged on there. It cost me just over 100 bucks Canadian for a year. I have spent more than that in the bar at night only to have a big hangover so i said why not

I get 5GB/week of storage up to 250GB a year. I think that is plenty for my needs.

Besides your videos look a lot better on Vimeo then Youtube. Less compression.
