I got a notice that I can’t host copyrighted material on this site, as it is against the Adsense terms of service.
The problem is; it is MY material. The only “help” available tells me to bring my site in compliance.
So… if you’re from Adsense – please help me out in resolving this issue. I do not want to change ad networks, and (I hope) you do not want me to leave!
Hello,
This is a warning message to alert you that there is action required to bring your AdSense account into compliance with our AdSense program policies. We’ve provided additional details below, along with the actions to be taken on your part.
Affected website: incompetech.com
Example page where violation occurred: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/?isrc=USUAN1200043
Action required: Please make changes immediately to your site to follow AdSense program policies.
Current account status: Active
Violation explanation
AdSense publishers may not display Google ads on webpages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. This includes sites that display copyrighted material, sites hosting copyrighted files, or sites that provide links driving traffic to sites that contain copyrighted material.
Well, I do have the necessary legal rights – but I can not find a way to resolve this claim. The Adsense help tells me only to “remove the violating content”.
Here’s hoping for a fix!
