YouTube misidentified third-party copyright

-
Today I received mail notification from YouTube making the following statement:
Dear ImphenziaGames,

Your video, Astrofighter.net (very early) Preview, may have
content that is owned or licensed by Kontor New Media. 

No action is required on your part; however, if you are
interested in learning how this affects your video, please
visit the Content ID Matches section of your account for
more information.

Sincerely, 
- The YouTube Team

When I Googled "Kontor New Media" another unfortunate YouTube had his videos containing sounds from a bird nest identified as infringing on copyright belonging to Kontor New Media.

I don't think the audio recognition YouTube uses work too well for non-musical audio.

The mail also "kindly" reminds me that I don't have to do anything and this is because Kontor New Media now earns on adverts that appear in my video. I'm not happy with this, of course, so what I did in an attempt to rectify this was to take the following actions:

  1. Clicked on the URL in the mail bringing me to the Content ID Matches section at YouTube

  2. Click on the Matched third party content. text hyperlink next to the video (note: difficult to see that it's a clickable link) - I highlighted it in yellow below.

  3. Follow the instructions to file a dispute that the video was misidentified using the alternative: 1. This video does not feature the third-party copyrighted material at issue. My video was misidentified as containing this material.


Not sure what to expect in terms of how long I have to wait - but I'll update this post once the issue has been resolved.

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
