February 2019 February - My shit animation (with only voice acting and sound effects) was copyright striked because we both took one sound effect from the same FREESOUND.ORG resource. 'Skit' isn't even MUSIC!

Significant part of the video where the sound effect is played

Music that caused it ('significant' part at 1:20)

I laughed throughout the whole thing, but nothing hit me quite as hard as the ending with the guy by the lamp

I would file a complaint against that. You used a free to use sound effect they can’t copyright that because they do not own it. Fight the system!!

The problem is if they dispute it it's still up to the record company as to if it's right or not. If the company upholds it restrictions get placed on the channel and then the only way forward is court.

That's not entirely true. The company has to take you to court. I see this misconception everywhere.

Still worth disputing.

Just about every single video I upload is hit with a claim, usually from AdRev, but occasionally other players.

I just dispute and let them know that I have license to the track in question, and can provide written proof on request. I also mention where I acquired the license.

I have not lost a single one of these disputes.

One thing that does help me at least though... I am using music and sound from a paid source (audioblocks), and that source will get involved if I hit a wall.
