Solved: Fame of a sort I suppose! - My video Abraxas has just received a copyright claim!
Frankly, whoever has done it is welcome to whatever revenue they or their bot imagine they can make off my stuff. ‘Pretty thin gruel’ is the phrase that springs to mind.
But I never thought in a million years my weird n wonderful noises would sound like anything close enough to some rights vampires hoard of gold to be worth staking a claim on. Ah well. Maybe it’s proof I’m moving into the mainstream.

Dispute it. i had the same thing happen to me and the company just let the claim lapse.
Probably an automated bot from a troll fraudulently posting copyright claims in hopes of scraping ad revenue from hundreds or thousands of accounts.
It wasn’t a claim from Carlos Santana, was it?
Oh the irony! I’ve just checked, and it’s not for my music, it’s for the waves footage, which I downloaded from Pexels. But not from the guy who shot it. Thing is, the guy that claimed it, who is some kind of spiritual guru peddling binaural meditation stuff, has used about five seconds of the same Pexels clip in what looks like a massive montage of similar stock footage stuff - waves, clouds, forests etcetera. And he isn’t the creator. The clip was shot by some guy in Russia who seems to have supplied Pexels with loads of similar things.
So tldr: I’m being mugged by a guru.
Nice to know he has risen above earthly concerns.
Truth is, I can’t be arsed to do anything about it. It’s not like the vid is going to go viral or anything. Just makes me think going anywhere near any ‘PD’ stuff is a nightmare. Maybe I should shoot my own slo-mo waves next time.
If I were you, I’d repost minus the video and just the audio and a static image. Don’t allow anyone the benefit of a false claim.
I’ve had my own share of dealing with online harasssers using false claims as a means of intimidation, but when you’re in the right you know it and don’t allow anyone to push you around.
I thought about it for 30 seconds and came to the same conclusion. I’m disputing the guru’s claim. I’m willing to bet the vid he’s claiming it for is a veritable patchwork of Pexels, anyway.
@rottencat
Same happened to me from using open source footage. I explained it on the YouTube form and the claim went away.
Did they send the lawyers and want some astronomical sum ? I had two cases where I helped to defend them against the copyright trolls. It’s hard to get rid of them. If you have the energy,then it’s best to be firm. Don’t answer straight away, but keep the deadlines. Ask them for legal proof of their copyright at first. Web links from their side are not convincing, what you want is raw video or photo material or signed documents that are proof of ownership. Then look for royalty free stuff on the web (stock photos / videos) and tell them a reasonable price.
My motto: They want money, so let them work for it.
BTW: I am not a lawyer.
Best thing - arrange a voice call to discuss it and record the part where the guru starts losing his shit, which is almost inevitable given the true nature of most of these types. Post it on TikTok or whatever, let it go viral, make some money from it, get the last laugh hahaha
I imagine they probably just have the youtube content ID system settings cranked too high. Guru guy more than likely doesn't even know it happened.

Erik (Big Money Salvia) goes over it at 7:34
A result! I received a notice from YouTube this morning saying that the guru has ‘released’ his claim on my vid. So that’s a win, I guess. Just as well. He has 2 million subscribers. (Not bad for hogwash videos where he murmurs new-agey ‘affirmations’ over stock video footage of clouds, trees, and, yes, gently heaving waves. ) I have, at the last count, 116. Which is 115 more than I expected. I wouldn’t have fancied my chances if it came to law.
But what a PITA. Definitely think I should generate my own footage if poss in future.
Congratulations!
Gah, I use the same clip of waves in my Somewhere or Anywhere video! It'll be interesting to see if he comes after me now...
To paraphrase a famous zen saying, If you meet the guru on the road, kill him' 😂
Glad that worked out for you. Yeah it's amazing the kind of tosh that can make it big on youtube, and sad how many gems flounder in obscurity. At least you're ABF-famous!
Glad this got sorted. As for subscriber counts, your 116 aren’t just any subscribers, they’re Cthonicist subscribers… worth (…tappity…) 17,241.38-ish of his any day!
[edit: some of the above will make no sense to anyone who hasn’t seen M&S ads - sorry!]
Ditto,
Sony big music group and others have all blocked pieces of mine claiming copyright infringement... their lousy bots!!.
One was my video of an animated cloud I created and photographed, audio was 3 layers of generic wind noises. Still blocked the audio!!! 😡
I create all photos content I use and I keep on my computer the original photos. If someone claim I will ask him copyright to use my own creation . My photos are unique even if I use them as an input for a AI service to make them more strange.
Same for videos.
