			<description><![CDATA[Here we are almost a year later. Recent developments have made this not even a band-aid. We’ve heard about Counter Notices to formal DMCA Notices being denied due to contractual agreements with certain entities. Now it comes to the appeals process. Sony Music Entertainment has long had a practice of summarily rejecting all disputes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPzAFNm1_8Y). Recently they have not answered appeals simply letting them time out while encumbering the uploaders’ account for another 30 days. Now apparently appeals are not allowed for disputes that SEM has summarily (without review) dismissed. To see an updated screen shot of the screen shot posted above (Same video one year later) scroll down to the Oct. 9, 2013 post on this thread http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/tFsevfJn3IQ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've been uploading some videos of a school talent show. Every video that has gone up has had a matched content claim but each one has used only tiny fractions of the songs involved and all with other sounds on top making them useless as substitutes for the original. From what I can gather, this is a pretty sound fair use claim. So, I appealed each of the claims writing long explanations of why they constitute fair use, and each claim was reinstated wihtin hours. Yes, hours. Obviously an automated system meaning my long explanations and citations were pointless. So, I'll appeal right? Wrong. Apparently, only "Uploaders in good copyright standing may be able to appeal up to three disputed Content ID matches that were reviewed and rejected at a time." My appeals button is disabled meaning I have no course of appeal. So, presumably my account is not in good standing. Well, according to my channel settings it is. Youtube is doing everything it can to look like it is protecting its users when really, it is protecting the yachts and mansions of its owners. Google is evil. And getting worse by the day.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been a YT Partner since 2008. YouTube seems to hire new employees who do not understand fair use legal rights, or how to look for examples where they were properly followed. YouTube then asks me, currently when there is a blue moon, to show that I have documentation to use an image. I point to my fair use rights, and how that image has a voice over, and of late, my point is ignored. This happened with one out of 45 videos, so it's not harmful, but I am fighting to prevent precedent, and maintain my rights intact. YouTube is not a perfect organization in that high-turnover causes misinterpretati on of rights, but those who have been there for some time do work to protect us. Also, there are YouTube staffers who will tell you they have NEVER made a video - that should not be, because they then lack the understanding of how the product works.

			<description><![CDATA[Do you have any existing copyright strikes? That makes you ineligible to appeal rejected content Id disputes until you clear the strikes. You'll have to send counter-notices for any videos you have a strike on first.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah that's another problem with the dispute process. There is no option that the claim is simply wrong. You just have to pick the closest one I guess, like the one saying the material is not eligible for copyright, or maybe the one saying you have permission to use it since if it's all your own original material, you obviously do.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a content ID claim about a video for music in a area of the video with no music or anything like music. The appeal got rejected in days and I am now appealing the reinstatement of the claim. The problem is that no option for the appeal had anything about a false claim. I have to essentially admit that I have used the material in question in order to even dispute it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I did sent appeal for 2 videos of mine on my other channel,I thought it was suspicious, that SME reinstated the claim on the same day before the time was up for them review it on 2 different days.Which makes think they didn't even bother consider fair use. Just like with my 2 terminated accounts,UMG just send out of DMCA without considering fair use on my videos. As for counter notices on those accounts they still haven't forwarded them yet even though it's been a month since I send a complete one by making my own counter notice,I send some made by ChillingEffects counter notice generator with my scanned signature,I wonder if it's gonna work at all.]]></description>
