Has anyone on these pages ever had the misfortune to deal with the theft of their songs and recordings by corporate scammers who provide Youtube with material and steal them to place advertising in them?


Organisations are openly thieving copyrights, placing adverts in videos - and who knows who is being paid for downloads. In my case I know that they have no right to any of the digital or synch rights that they are claiming on the recordings. Youtube have a corrupt claims system, which allows the companies who are stealing recordings and copyrights to make their own decisions about their own 'ownership' of these recordings.

If you google these agenices whose name, you will see that they are stealing people's recordings and songs from automated so-called recognition software.   I know for a fact that we have not signed deals for Digital Rights with these companies yet these parasites get away with scamming on the basis that they bulk claim catalogues.

If you dispute ownership, then Youtube say its nothing to do with them. If you dispute ownership, and it goes against you in this self-policing system then your account is struck off after three disputes. What a corrupt, immoral, unfair and sick system!

It is also unfair that whole albums are being put on youtube by these companies so that they can put adverts in - none of which gives the ordinary songwriters or minor artists any money - as they are being scammed! No wonder people struggle to put out albums these days!
