Hi,
After a long break due to an injury that kept me away from the keyboards of my organ or harpsichords, I was happy to be able to play again, and decided to contribute to contrebombarde's concert hall, and create a youtube channel...
First piece I uploaded was Praeludium and Fugue in C Bwv 547 from Bach, a bit less than two weeks ago.
It may have totalled between 100 and 200 views when some copyright holder decided my video infringed on his rights !
Funny thing is that the piece I may have based my video on and deliberately copied is some PRELUDE NO. 11 IN F MAJOR (copied and pasted) which I wouldn't be surprised could be Bach WTC I or II (no link to this piece is provided...)
Of course I contested the copyright infringement notice, because the idea that ads could be placed on my videos to the benefit of a fake copyright holder is really irritating, even if it probably wouldn't generate any revenue at all, but it seems that it is the copyright holder that will have to decide if my complaint is legitimate or not...
youtube is a strange world...
