They were actually signed and toured. No Idea records in Florida.

I have some thoughts, but I will start a new thread.

I've got a bunch of them, those were just the first page and a half. No biggie, I'm about 99,850 subscribers short of earning anything off YouTube.

You need 1,000 subs to monetize. Used to be 500 but then someone there decided to be a douche and up it. I was actually making a few hundred from my channel (with very few vids) until that happened. IIRC, I'm at 700+ now. I just haven't had the time or gumption to do a new vid in years. I might eventually...

Yeah, my main guitar channel is at 4.15K subs right now.

I gain about 100 subs a month.

No shit......am I thinking of the amount of play time you need 100K for?

​ ​ Hi PLX,​ Copyrighted content has been detected in your video "FYLT cover 1132024". The visibility of your video is not impacted, but you can no longer monetize it. The copyright owner is now either monetizing it, or receiving analytics about it. This is not a copyright strike and does not affect your channel.​ Anyone else get these sort of notifications on yore channel ?

I got one a decade ago for an ACDC cover. What was crazy is that the person who filed the claim had also covered the same song and didn't own the copyright. So afaict, there was some schmuck filing claims and attempting to monetize other people's work, even though he didn't own the copyright.

There is no recourse without lawyer.

I think this kind of stuff is being done using an algorithm run by teh YouTube that scans every upload - and in my case - it keys off the vocal track.

I don't doubt their algorithm can match audio tracks, what it apparently can't do is determine who is the original copyright holder.

Oh, I think YT knows, but they used to actually say it in the message you'd get.

Years ago, I was uploading a lot of isolated guitar tracks, and I'd get "BMI, or BMG group" in the messages.

All they say now is that "you cannot monetize this video.. "

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

I have a lot of old band covers on YouTube. I didn't receive any strikes, but they were all claimed by the copyright holders. I hope that they enjoy the sweet sweet cash generated by literally hundreds of views.
