			<description><![CDATA[I found one of my videos has three claims against it, by SACEM, UPMG, and BMG Rights Management. It's a cover song I did of Adele's "Someone Like You" (http://youtu.be/T37qBAdsRos). I did all the performance, recording, the video, and my record label even licensed it so it's official. Yet the three entities above claim it is a content ID match for "But Not For Me". I looked up several versions of this song and it's not even close, I don't see how a computer algorithm could match that with my song. I disputed the claims, and UBMG actually rejected my dispute and reinstated the claim. Does... anyone there even LISTEN to the songs and say, oh, OK, that's not what we think it is? I don't get it. And I have no idea how to communicate with anyone at Youtube or these publishing companies to get them to release their claim.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My channel was suspended and reactivated 4 times last year due to fraudulent copyright claims by a troll who has sabotaged me for 3 years. While I fought one claim and waited, 2 others arrived. The claims used names that are similar to well known corporations and gmail or hotmail addresses. Let's accept that YT is too big and has to handle things in an automated system, but don't tell me that such a large beast cannot have software to detect dodgy claims like these. Trolls are using the lax copyright claim system to sabotage and harass and YT's negligent administration is just another bully helping the bullies. It's a disgrace.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a video of a cover song which has been blocked.I challenged it with the "fair use" copyright and they rejected my claim and the video is still blocked even though there are hundreds of videos of this same song already on youtube.Why is mine being singled out and nobody else?If I keep it on my channel, what will happen?Is it possible youtube will shut down my channel?I have over 260 videos and this is the only one that has been blocked.Please advise.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Michael, I'm afraid your situation is far from unique. This is a systemic flaw I've been trying to draw attention to for months. That is what happens when copyright owners are allowed to be the judge of their own claims and unilaterally reject disputes. I'm afraid if you can't contact them and persuade them to release their claim, there is nothing more you can do, except post your video to a different video site like Vimeo that doesn't have automated copyright filters. Ars Technica recently ran a good story highlighting this very problem: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/02/copyright-kings-are-judge-jury-and-executioner-on-youtube.ars. Sorry I can't give you any better help.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Patrick. Thank you very much for posting this information and helping the YouTube Community. I too have a video that is in this limbo state. I've filed a DMCA counter-notice but as you pointed out, will probably do no good. My particular video located at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUXAj5POtc&feature=channel_video_title is only blocked in the USA. I've also made 7 documented attempts to contact Warner Chappell directly. The last, being a Registered Letter. They have yet to reply. It appears that they have found a loophole to utilize in order to censor my video which is clearly "Fair Use". Please contact me with any suggestions that you may have. Thanks again for arming us with knowledge to protect our rights and content. Best wishes. Michael]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I chickened out. The more research I did, the more I realized that I really had no chance of winning my appeal if I continued with it. I took my video down and changed the music. What I have been forced to do is used a dummy channel and upload a minute snippet of the song I want to use with a photo. If I get a content match, I know not to use that song on my real channel. It's ridiculous, because for every song (in the public domain) I try to use 2 are snagged for copyright infringement. But, yeah, I gave up the fight almost immediately. I didn't allow them to put ads on my channel, but I did take my video down and redid the music. I just decided I didn't want to risk the strike.]]></description>
