by Szabo Viktor

TheFatRat , a popular truck manufacturer with more than 3.3 million subscribers on its own YouTube channel, said that "more than 47 million playbacks of my movies have been stolen by people exploiting YouTube's copyright protection system" Appeal, we are requesting improvement of the system.

How my video with 47 million views was stolen on YouTube - YouTube


"I created this movie because someone stole a song called" The Calling "that I made and uploaded to YouTube," says TheFatRat, a popular truck maker that distributes a variety of songs on YouTube Mr. He said that the stolen "The Calling" has been played more than 100,000 times a day, 47 million times so far, and feels that "not only songs but also play numbers were stolen." TheFatRat explains in the movie how songs are stolen and monitored away from the author.

First, "The Calling" created by TheFatRat is as follows.

TheFatRat - The Calling (feat. Laura Brehm) - YouTube


All the movies shown in the following images are all songs created by TheFatRat and released on YouTube. "The Calling" that it was stolen was published on YouTube in 2016.

"The Calling" seems to be a song created with two friends, said Laura who served as a vocal and Jordan Grima who received the artwork paid a firm fee.

Upon release, "The Calling" also has Universal Product Code (UPC).

The response to "The Calling" is wonderful, "Many users have loved this song," TheFatRat said. However, TheFatRat will receive one email from YouTube on November 19, 2016. The mail said that the user "Ramjets" has offered copyright infringement and that the revenue generated by the playback of the movie will be transferred to the account of Ramjets, not TheFatRat. When I received the email, TheFatRat said that he thought "Only a mistake occurred".

TheFatRat who sent a protest mail to YouTube because it is impossible for him to have the copyright of his or her songs. In the e-mail are written the composer of "The Calling", UPC, a link to the page of Wikipedia to show his / her background.

Mr. TheFatRat will receive e-mails again from YouTube on December 12, about a month after sending mail. There was written that "Your protest was not accepted," and "I reviewed the matter of Ramjets and TheFatRat (who claimed that TheFatRat's songs are infringing their copyrights at first) As a result, I was told that it was not possible to approve your argument. "

As a result, TheFatRat, who has continued to leave the songs created by himself as "Ramjets".

Mr. TheFatRat is protesting this decision again, following that, decide not to update your own YouTube account with the meaning of the strike. In other words, Mr. TheFatRat completely abandoned the revenue from many subscribers and channels with views, and tried to appeal to the world that YouTube is processing the wrong copyright.

Still the content owner of "The Calling" was still considered to be Ramjets, not Mr. TheFatRat. And it seems that the e-mail stated that "YouTube never mediates about copyright". However, as a result of repeated assertions, TheFatRat succeeds in obtaining Ramjets' email address.

"YouTube does not seem to mediate about copyright, but it was YouTube that gave me a movie first unknowingly, and they began to claim that I was the owner of the movie Even so, YouTube criticizes the correspondence that YouTube has taken, saying, "There is nothing wrong with being a matter that has nothing to do with them."

Next, Mr. TheFatRat said that he started investigating about Ramjets, claiming that he steals his own movie "It's my movie". I succeeded in obtaining the e-mail address, but from the conclusion I said that "I could not get anything."

Ramjets' YouTube channel is as follows. No content has been uploaded.

At the bottom of the page is a link to Twitter and Instagram accounts ......

No links are totally lie, no account or even a web site is prepared. Of course, it seems that the e-mail address that was being disclosed was also not used.

Therefore, Mr. TheFatRat again said that he declared "You can not contact Ramjets" on YouTube, but he said that it was answered only that "I can not teach other information about the filer".

After that, as Ramjets continues to exchange, Ramjets does not insist on "The Calling right of TheFatRat" but "You own the rights of music by Andres Galvez, so we file a claim to The Calling's movie I sent it. "

So TheFatRat examined Andres Galvez. I found Andrew Galvez 's SoundCloud page, but in this case TheFatRat' s The Calling was being illegally distributed. "If remixed, it was obviously a pirate version that was still being delivered, and someone else could make another movie using my songs, and I do not mind even if you monetize that movie Nevertheless, please never monetize my movie as it is, "TheFatRat says.

TheFatRat finally finds out why the movie which he should have made copyrighted has been copyrighted will contact Andres Galvez. Here we are talking about a straight ball "Does your song" The Calling "notice that you are using vocals of my song" The Calling "?" "Because of your pirated version, YouTube copyright infringement I sent a message saying "I got caught" ....

Although Andres Galvez acknowledged that it had delivered the pirated version of The Calling, as for the relationship with Ramjets "strangely, I heard about such a contract (what Ramjets claimed) I do not even remember having paid a contract with such a partner (Ramjets) ".

Then Andres Galvez sent a mail directly to YouTube, Andres Galvez said that they were only distributing The Calling of pirated version and explained that the real right holder is TheFatRat. However, since then, there is no tone from YouTube.

Mr. TheFatRat points out that there are many creators on YouTube who are puzzled by being notified that the original content is "violating copyright" in the same way as myself. Just as TheFatRat faced the wrong copyright infringement allegation, Gus Johnson and ...

Drew Gooden .

If you have a relatively large YouTube channel such as TheFatRat, you can hire a lawyer to tackle copyright infringement problems securely, but in the case of small and medium-sized channels it is possible to fall asleep It is thoughtful enough.

TheFatRat advised that allegations of theft of movie content and wrong copyright infringement would be a crime and pay a large amount of fine.

In response to the claim that "YouTube's community should be grown up," TheFatRat said, "YouTube invites account users to events as the channel gets bigger and educates the knowledge necessary for channel management , The correspondence as a community is a level which does not have any other services ".

Then, what is being asked about? TheFatRat points out "YouTube channel operators firmly recognize that YouTube's copyright protection system is being abused." And for that, I have appealed that it is necessary to submit my opinion by using a hash tag called "# FixYouTubeCopyright" on social media.
