UPDATE: Lots of positive things have happened this month. This channel has always been a slow burner with a steady increase in views over the years. However, this month has seen over 1.3k new subs and a lot of growth which is great!
However, I recently uploaded a cover of @bryanadams All for Love - this video was not monetized, which is great, as I deserve no revenue from it, and never asked for it. I also never claimed that the content was my own and, on uploading, was told that the copyright owner allowed the content to be used on YouTube.
However, someone from Universal music group has manually requested the video to be removed and my account has been issued a copyright strike. There was no warning for this and I would have gladly taken down the video at the owners request, had they raised their concerns and voiced the reason my video, with only 250 views, was a detriment to the artists or the record company, seeing as there was no financial gain and they had already claimed copyright of the song materials.
Considering there was no warning, and a strike lasts for 90 days. I shall be refraining from uploading many videos over the next 3 months. As receiving a further 2 strikes will take down the channel and all I have worked for over the last few years.
My videos only aim to promote my favourite musical songs and artists, however the industry seems to be implosive and the artists or corporate entities are too busy taking down the little guy when they have much larger fish to fry.
