Nintendo has struck again, this time I lost a song to Tomodachi Collection. This marks the second time that Nintendo has targeted my channel with a takedown and strike, but luckily the previous strikes on my channel had expired so there is no immediate danger.
Since the same thing happened to me back before the introduction of Nintendo Music, I'm assuming that Tomodachi games are going to be added to the service soon and there may be other games/series about to be affected by this as well.
Anybody else feeling this? I know a couple of you out there are VGM uploaders like me, but for the casual listener, have you seen any soundtracks starting to see holes in them or channels getting hit that I'm not seeing? It seems the only target specific songs, and one at a time so I feel like it is a fear tactic to try and remove us from the platform, but I can't be sure unless I get more data.
Unfortunately, I can't reach out to YouTube for this because I do not monetize, so I don't have access to anyone who can talk to me about this. I've also tried multiple times to reach out to Nintendo to no avail. I will try again, but if anyone has a more direct route to contact someone, please let me know so I can at least try and discuss this with someone. Rest assured, I am not deterred from my mission of showcasing VGM and will keep doing so until I'm unable to, but I at least want to be able to put up a fight for Fair Use since I only benefit from this by knowing that you all are enjoying the content.
