RE: Next year may be last @Cilvanis
67Take it easy King π. For further explanation of YouTube's broken copyright system:
in order to combat illegal use of music, YouTube has a content ID system in place, where any video that is uploaded is automatically scanned for copyrighted music. However, content ID trolls claim music that hasn't been claimed to be theirs, and as a result can siphon the ad revenue made from the video. This is something I've discussed extensively with my contacts at YouTube, but to no avail. Basically, the creators have to suffer because YouTube cannot risk lawsuits. For Cilvanis, he often uses anime music to add drama, value, and quality to the videos. But since sometimes the music is popular but not yet claimed (because the music owners don't really mind, or they have better things to do), people claiming to own the music starts claiming the music in the video. This causes the ad revenue to be in "escrow" which means YT holds it until it's determined who is allowed to make money off the video. This is not only stressful because you do not immediately obtain the revenue generated, but this often causes the creators to lose as well.
