I recently checked my video manager and I noticed that one of my videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMjhsuVokBQ has been flagged as containing copyrighted material. "Oceania Aalibrary", musical composition administered by: GoDigital MG For a Third Party The music in the video is copyrighted by Sega, not by GoDigital. As it says that they filed the claim on behalf of a 3rd party I doubled checked the names of the songs used in this game, and none of the songs in this game have the name "Oceania Aalibrary" (Additionally, I have been unable to confirm that such a song exists or has ever existed. Oceania Aalibrary is actually a googlewhack.) I filed the dispute, but there is no button for "My work contains copyrighted materials from a 3rd party, but not the 3rd party that is claiming." The dispute was rejected. I would be more than happy if Sega itself profited from viewing this video. However, I take moral exception to a copyright troll doing so. What recourse do I have in this instance?

AlbinoBlacksheep.com has done this many a time for videos of SMB runs. I filed it as "The content is in the public domain or is not eligible for copyright protection." and went into more detail in the description. All of such disputes were accepted.
All the best, Brandon Evans

NES TAS of 2011
These channels just provide some content using the original games score or graphics, then become YT partners, and all matches to their vids now are labeled as copyrighted by them. As for SMB, I checked "This is an original content I own rights on" and said that I own the cartridge, that was produced way before albinoblacksheep even appeared and claimed any rights on it. Waiting for reply.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
