2019 August - Namco looking into invalid Demonetization claims towards videos on Tekken videos + why I believe creators should look into leaving YouTube

[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2019/aug/20/tekken-content-creators-youtube-facing-copyright-claims-game-music-katsuhiro-harada-and-michael-murray-respond/](https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2019/aug/20/tekken-content-creators-youtube-facing-copyright-claims-game-music-katsuhiro-harada-and-michael-murray-respond/)
@KingTomahawk has also accused an artist/group called "Standing Ovation Entertainment" of doing similar demonetization claims towards SoulCalibur videos over a song they made that "samples/remixes" a track from SoulCalibur, which Bandai Namco Nordic said they would look into on their Twitter: [https://twitter.com/KingTomahawk/status/1164183226140598272](https://twitter.com/KingTomahawk/status/1164183226140598272)

Said artist/group in question also appears to be signed to the label "CDBaby", which appears to be the same group responsible for this: [https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/smellyoctopus-youtube-copyright-claim/](https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/smellyoctopus-youtube-copyright-claim/)

This is yet another in a long line of examples of how errors in YouTube's automated Content ID system unfairly hurt smaller creators, and yet most of those creators stay at YouTube because they are concerned about losing viewers/revenue, and because they are under the impression that YouTube has a monopoly on video sharing sites.

A belief I personally find not true, as there are several different, albeit smaller websites that can be used to share and upload videos, such as **Twitch, Mixer, Bitchute, VLare, Vimeo, Dailymotion, PeerTube, DTube,** and **Internet Archive**.
Heck, even **PewDiePie**, a creator with one of the highest subscriber counts on YouTube, started streaming on a smaller website called **DLive**, as opposed to streaming on YouTube Live.

Not to mention, there are a fair amount of ways creators can build a fan base, keep them notified, and gain revenue for their work, such as **Notify.Me, Patreon, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee,** and **Liberapay,** among others.

Yes, I know, It's hard to deviate from what's familiar. But at the same time, I believe that even if creators don't leave don't want to leave YouTube outright, they should at least look into backing up their content on another website, so that way they don't have to worry as much about their work being censored for unjust reasons.

Although even with that, leaving YouTube should definitely remain a possibility for all creators, considering how little, if any, improvement YouTube has made to it's system and customer service over the past few years, even with all the incidents of videos/channels being removed for unfair reasons and the backlash YT has received because of it.

Things need to change, and I have a feeling that creators are going to have to change where and how they create videos before YouTube makes any positive changes of their own.

Too long, didn't read: YouTube has big problems, and it's creators should consider moving to other websites until YT fixes those problems, since I don't believe YT will fix them on it's own.

"Hey @DCT\_MGT, I recently received a copyright strike from you guys for my "Top 5 BEST Green Hill Zone Music Tracks" and was given the email rentalkats@gmail.com to contact you, but I can't find that email anywhere on your site. Is this you?"

“Turns out a company from Ethiopia called DCT Entertainment Inc. filed a copyright takedown notice on a really old video of Sonic the Hedgehog that I did years ago. Why they did this? I don't know but I am getting in touch with my network to get this rescinded.”

“I actually tried to reach them and they said that in order to use the copyright, you have to pay for it. I call it blackmail and YouTube allows this.”

If there are any YouTube creators reading this right now, I strongly advise you back up your videos as soon as you possibly can in case something like this happens to you.
