that sucks, I used your playlists exclusively. I own every cd fromt he strange anthology with very few exceptions and rock the youtube playlist cause it takes minor bandwidth and only cache-specific hard drive space. wtf. Otherwise I only use youtube for one track per album by niggas like Obie Trice and G-Macc.
So Strange Music deleted my Youtube Account
- Thread starter Gofer
- Start date
When I first heard of Tech and Strange youtube was big way for me to discover and hear about there music since they dont get play on the music channels or radio. Im sure it is for a lot of people when the first hear of a rapper or band and want to explore there music. I understand why they may delete some videos but overall I think its beneficial if they want new people to get into there music.
It sucks, because the last few weeks I have been to some small "parties" where I have wanted to play some of Tech's music videos, and the ones on Strange's YouTube channel seem to "stall" and take forever to "buffer", etc. Usually, if I went to a fan's YouTube deal, the video loads quicker, etc. I mean, it's whatever... But I have lost out on a golden opportunity to expose Tech N9ne to some people that don't know a lot about his music, but want to hear it....
Well the only thing I can say to that is I would highly recommend you figure out whats going on over there, because the message you guys are sending is don't post strange music or else. Because Already my account is deleted and I have no plans to re-create it from scratch and another semi-popular poster (Tormented Warrior) has completely stopped posting music from Strange in fear of being deleted as well. This really sucks but thanks for clearing the water in terms of what happened.
I believe it is the media scanning software that YouTube uses. It scans the audio from the videos and then searches through its library of mainstream music and when it finds a match in the audio waveforms it alerts YouTube that infringement is occurring. Facebook recently starting doing the same thing. Once a mainstream song is released I believe it is put into some sort of archive and held on record and this audio scanning software can detect duplicate versions and removes the videos that aren't authorized to be put on there.
There are a few loopholes to this though. If you record a video and edit it with the audio actually being part of the recording then you can sometimes pass through the software without being flagged due to the white noise which is picked up by your videocamera. When you take the mp3 of a song and try to add it over a video to make the song crisp it gets detected and is flagged.
I messed around with this a lot back when I was getting videos flagged that had music overlayed in them.
After a video is flagged the notification they give you referring to Strange Music Inc. or Universal or Def Jam or whoever isn't the company that is directly making you remove your video. It is the company that the audio sweeper detects as owning the rights to the song YouTube then makes the decision to either warn you, remove the video, and/or remove your account because they see that the sweep shows your uploads as infringement. So when they send you the message about deleting your account all they are doing is referencing who owns the content you are posting.
I hope this clears some things up for you.
