My old videos using Kevin MacLeod music are getting copyrighted?
Weeks ago I got 2 email saying a group called, “We Are Era Music BV” started copyrighting some old videos of mine that still get 2,000-3,000 views a year. The music I credited was Kevin MacLeod.
I disputed both.
I got another claim today by the same group.
One of my previous claims I got this response from youtube
“After reviewing your dispute, We Are Era Music BV has decided that their claim is still valid.
Video title: (Redacted)
Claimed content: Cottages
Claimed by: We Are Era Music BV
How do I stop this when youtube is siding with them! I use Kevin MacLeod with attribution in all my videos for the past 12 years!
EDIT: I threatened legal action (A class action lawsuit with Redditors) and the counter appeal was finally released.
YouTube sent this:
