This time, the claim is from a company called AvangMusic. They are claiming copyrights on a video I created for ScreenStudio using iMovie for iOS using their Trailer templates.
Here's the video:
Just a simple trailer video for my personal project ScreenStudio (http://screenstudio.crombz.com). This company claims to hold copyrights on the audio of this video. The actual owner is Apple (http://apple.com) and their licence clearly states that their audio samples and soundtracks are royalties free.
Again, this video was blocked and cannot be monetized with Youtube ads. I'm not losing millions of $$$ on this, but it's a loss I do have to endure anyway. Imagine that you would create a vial video, with thousands of views but your monetization would be suspended under the false assumption that this company, AvangMusic, are the copyright holders.
Youtube needs to do something about this. It's not hard to identify that this audio track is from Apple and do not infringe any copyrighted materials on the planet.
I did take time to tweet @avangmusic about this issue and also sent them an email. Still no feedback from them or Youtube.
I'll post more as things will develop in the next days...
Until then, I'll hashtags a few tweets with #stopstealingmyvideos on Twitter. If you have faced the same issues with @avangmusic or another companies, use the same hashtag so we can join our voices again that crazy problem.
Yes, I'm mad!
