Need your input: The YouTube Copyright Police - What Slots are Affected?

[dunover]

So, it's well-known if you have a YT channel or watch any slotting videos that there are obvious pieces of music and/or lyrics that will get your video disqualified from YT ad revenues.

We have Electric Six on DHV, Europe on The Final Countdown, GnR on Guns 'n' Roses and of course any other trademarked pop or rock themes like Motorhead, Hendrix and the Play'N Go series with Demon and Sabaton etc.

Surprisingly even some musical backing can trigger copyright infringement, like the folksy music on IGT's Dungeons and Dragons: Fortress of Fortune back in the day. Imagine my surprise when today I got notification that Novomatic's Book of Ra Deluxe bonus round music is now claimed! Yes, years after uploading, Novo seem to have requested copyright after tubers getting 3 grinning explorers.

A question here is does the claimant get ALL the video revenue - i.e. if that video would have earned £10 for me, do Novo get the whole tenner even though their 'content' is perhaps a fifth of the total video material?

Have the developers who (aside from aforementioned trademarked music) have hitherto been quite laissez faire about their slots featuring in videos, being free publicity for their games, suddenly had a bean-counting epiphany and earmarked old YT videos as a new source of revenue?

Who knows?

Any knowledge you have of copyrighted slot stuff would be greatly appreciated here.

It's an interesting subject @dunover I hadn't given it much thought until reading your post. It's funny how Youtube are so militant about the use of copyrighted material and yet all the AI companies couldn't give two hoots about creating images, stories, studies, etc etc using copyrighted material every second of every day.

IGT were the ones for using famous songs in their games, and probably paid handsomely for it. Walk Like an Egyptian in Pharaohs Fortunes and Rock Lobster... I think in Lucky Larry's Lobster Mania are just two examples.

Anyway, I have not managed to answer any questions, but hopefully added to the debate, at least 0.01%

I’ve only ever had one upload flagged for copyright, and that was DOA2.

I also uploaded a video of a big win I got on Gamdom, but forgot to crop out the top of the screen showing “Gamdom” and got a warning (plus the video was removed). This is a different scenario though.

Thing is nowadays, you have no confidence as a creator whether your video will be flagged by their detection systems. 'Fair usage' is a very imprecise and uneasy term to deal with.

I regularly watch CasinoDaddy and they are constantly getting YT strikes, and they often don’t know why. It’s almost impossible to contact a real human, so they are left to deal with a sloppy AI “assistant”.

As hard as they try, occasionally they accidentally show the URL of one of the casinos they play at, only for a second or two, and bam they get a strike. They go to great lengths to avoid this. Recently they’ve been receiving strikes when they wear casino branded tops with a URL on them. They are at the point now where they’ve stopped live streaming on YT and use it only for highlights and replays.

How can you rely on a company like this?

It's becoming unwatchable with the amount of AI slop in videos, or the *&*%ing 'normal' videos with AI commentary with the flat badly enunciated stoooopid soft American-cum-mid-Atlantic accents.

Makes me laugh, the horrendous slop the AI speech thing produces - example being on one video I watched it mentioned ASDA the supermarket instead of saying AS-DA as real person would it said "or you may go into AY-ESS-DEE-AY to buy this product" kind thing. Luckily, those videos that allow comments, all you need to do is look at the first few before you watch and you'll quickly see the viewers warning it's AI slop and/or narration so you can leave.

I think YT have said they are demonetising AI slop. Hopefully that will make posting such bollocks a lot less compelling.

Novomatics rumpel wildspins used to always get flagged for music copyright for me, Any type of music thats owned by someone and not copyright free music, will be flagged.

But why now? I have had tens of videos over the years with BoR Deluxe free spins displayed, never seemed to be a problem.

You should be banned for good for uploading so much spawn and tilting the slotting community.

Like you say they may have realised its a good little earner for them to flag peoples youtube videos claiming copyright for using there music, then they get to earn your entire youtube videos revenue all for them selfs

Most likely that is the reason the flags for copyright have only started happening as of late. Not sure really.

Companys/People are desperate out here at the moment, Ive never had an issue with casino accounts getting hacked until the past 6 months ive had 2 of my accounts breached. (Coral/B.C Game)

Never used to happen before.

Any more comments like that and I'll post my spawniest-ever when I turned 400 into 12k. All on Bonanza which ran like a dream that day 3 years ago and has never done since.

My personal Youtube Channel with footage of gigs I have attended, pretty much all have copyright claims, but allowed to still publish them. Just means I could never monetise them.

And this post has nothing to do with The Bandit's recent rant about not caring anymore due to YouTube's strict policing?

YouTube are just keeping in line with life itself these days.

You basically can’t say or do anything because some c**t will be offended somewhere in the world and kick up a stink.

I enjoy watching space-related content. The amount of AI-generated content has killed YouTube for me. Yes, there still are decent content providers, but the search results are truly horrific.

I have flagged several videos for impersonation. YouTube does nothing. I recently read that Harvard scientist Avi Loeb actually had to threaten YouTube with legal action, and that is the only time they removed AI spam impersonating him.

 

[dunover]

And this post has nothing to do with The Bandit's recent rant about not caring anymore due to YouTube's strict policing?

Nope, nothing. As I said in the OP, it was triggered by me getting a copyright notice yesterday morning, checking it thoroughly and finding it applied solely to the 5 or 6 free spins rounds on Book of Ra Deluxe throughout the video.

I am wondering if it's because I triggered the feature many times in the session, whereas just one or two in other videos haven't been flagged. Possibly exceeded the 'fair usage' limit unknowingly.

anything licensed (eg: jurassic park, terminator 2) esp. if they sample music from the movies.
all of playngos music/band games may be a problem (kiss, black mamba , hammerfall, twisted sister etc.)
BTG, holy diver, final countdown DHV (?) (music)

but realistically anything is possible if the slot makers decide it is, they own the copyright to their games music, sound effects are often made from 'stock' ie: royalty free sounds so are less of an issue.

Having done a Google search on "NDA Sound", he seems to be a scammer who claims copyright when he is not entitled to do so.

Lots of people have complained to Youtube without avail.
