Yesterday, two of my ukulele cover videos on Youtube were removed as a result of a third-party notification from WMG claiming that the material is infringing their copyrights under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act. The weird thing is that one of the videos was a REd Hot Chili Peppers cover for the Flea Bass Competition, which was initiated by Flea, the RHCP bass player himself, encouraging fans to cover a RHCP song and post it in the respective Youtube group. So, why was my video removed from Youtube?
Honestly, I'm now very afraid that they will shut down my channel because I have almost 100 ukulele covers. I quote Youtube, "Repeat incidents of copyright infringement will result in the deletion of your account and all videos uploaded to that account."
Has anyone here ever have the same problem with Youtube and WMG? If you were in my position, what would you do? Stop making covers? Fight it? I enjoy making music for all the great people who support me and I couldn't bear NOT doing what I do.
This is my cry out for help.
