Technically, the company Avangmusic is claiming a copyright on the audio of my video. This video was created with iMovie and using the free-of-anything soundtrack provided by Apple.
The current status is that Avangmusic is "reviewing" my dispute over their claim and they have 30 days to reply back. That means that my video is currently on-hold until Avangmusic releases the claim or that the 30 days period is reached.
Even worse, they could refuse my dispute and I'll have to fight back with another dispute with Youtube. This has happened to me on another video but I eventually won my case (Twitter is a powerful tool).
For now, my content is hold hostage of that ridiculous process. The copyright holders should prove that they have a case before Youtube takes any action on blocking contents. In some cases, it can be obvious that there is a copyright issue but if their is any reasonable doubts, Youtube should wait before taking any actions.
This copyright claiming process is hurting the community of Youtubers and some of us are actually losing real money because of that.
Are you facing the same issue? Make your voice heard by using #stopstealingmyvideos in your social media networks. It's time to end this madness!
