*An old Hag wanders into the thread* You!... Infringer!.... Thief!.... Pirate!!!!.... You'll pay for your copyright pirating ways!!! You'll pay!!!! You'll see!!! You'll paaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy..... *wanders off*Yep. Rach4 and Littletune. Copyright pirates of Pianostreet. I'm not sure if it was Littletune herself or her bird whistling that set Youtube off. I think she got her video restored too. If she's still around she might say how. It would be contacting Youtube in some way. I've heard of it happening before.
I thought you just filled in a form off their Help Centre?
Doesn't work.That's a distraction!It doesn't have anything for false copyright claims.

The point here is not whose piano playing is on the video but what music is being played. Of course you cannot infringe your own copyright and, if it's your playing, you have rights in your performance, so I would have to assume that, although you say that the material is your music, it is in fact you playing someone else's copyrighted music. Am I right about that?Best,Alistair
It's the Ondine. Ravel is already like 80 years dead already, he doesn't care about YouTube videos. Besides, there's already hundreds of videos of people playing his music, why the heck am I gettinga problem?
In that case - and if that is all that you have posted to YouTube and it is that video with which you are having problems, you will have to contact YouTube to challenge their stance on this and ask them why they have done this. The fact that Ravel is long dead has no bearing on the mater, but the fact that his music entered the puiblic domain on 1 January 2008 should mean that there is no problem.Best,Alistair
How is ravel being dead not have any bearing?!He's the one who composed it, who the heck else has rights to his music?!Aaaaaaaagh I am SOOOO mad!!! I'm sick of this copyright bullshit.Yeah I emailed them but I got an automatic reply... But not to worry, I found three other email adresses to raise hell on! Not really raise hell...
Ravel's being dead has no bearing on the copyright issue because copyright in his and most other composers' works in most territories these days expires at the end of the 70th year following those domposers' deaths so, in Ravel's case, the relevant date is, as I wrote, 1 January 2008. His Estate would have had the rights to his music from his death until that date but, since then, it's been in the public domain.It will be interesting to learn of the outcome of your approaches to YouTube, where many a copyright violation is in evidence and a far from small proportipon of these are videos of works or extracts therefrom by living composers; this is why there is a set procedure to report copyright violations and another to challenge claims for copyright vilation if the uploader believes that they are invalid (as in the case that you cited here).Good luck!Best,Alistair
The only possibility that occurs to me is that the publisher might have claimed infringement of the copyright in its publication, although I imagine that to be unlikely;
In one of Enzo's videos they insisted that it was Horowitz playing.... .... so be it .... we were absolutely flattered.
However, even if Ravel's works were still in public domain, I'm not entirely sure it's infringing copyright to post yourself playing them, especially if you're not making any money. You could possibly argue that your playing constitutes a separate work from the original, since, after all, the original is just a bunch of notes on a piece of paper, whereas yours is a series of sounds--hardly comparable
Captain Copyright strikes again.
Were they not curious how your son was able to sync his fingers perfectly with Horowitz's recording? Quite the compliment regardless!

You're a lawyer, of course you do
So I disputed this bullshit ass copyright claim and I risk getting my account terminated...
It won't and even if it would, who cares, you can always get a new one...
But what would Valentina Lisitsa think?!Her number 1 subscriber suddenly vanishing? What the heck?!
That restraining orders actually work, albeit slowly?
doesnt pretend to be a professional pianist unlike you!
a professional pianist unlike you!
Sometimes your modern use of grammar is just too complicated for us old people...
FYI, all professional pianists are unlike me, inasmuch as they are actually professional pianists.
as long as I get my point across who cares!
I have a question.Do you ever switch into ajspiano when you're performing? How does that work out? Well I mean, he is pretty good, he learned the rach 3 in a shorter amount of time it taes to play it, so I guess you can trust him when he takes over right?
