I received a fantastic explanation of what is going on with the Youtube Content ID Match system with at least some of my music (typically the ones that Sony and Universal are claiming rights to).
False Content ID with Classical Music
Thanks, Will!
I’ll try to keep everyone here posted as to the goings on of this battle – hopefully, this will cause a change in the “right’s holders'” policies. If it does not, then I can at least provide everyone who gets hit by this the details of how to go about fixing it.

Get Started with Music

If you need music for your film or video game...

At least there is some explanation…
Dear Internet Sleuths
Seeing as how YouTube is being very slow about this, I’m going to start talking directly with publishers.
One big one that many many people have complained about is “the Self-Help Hypnotherapy Store”.
If you are them, or know them, or can get me a contact there, or find an email address – please email me. I found a phone number online – but no one answers.
Getting these guys to stop will halt a full half of all the problems people have reported.
that one kind of music
You know the type… you’ve just completed a big action sequence, and your main characters are talking in quiet voices about what all happened, and what it all means, and what’s next… and you get THIS kind of music in the background as a stark contrast to the heavy brass and percussion of the previous scenes.
You can also listen to these on their own… they generally are simple constructions with complexity coming from the extended and thin chords.

Cheers, all.
Does anyone out there know anyone?
I’m having problems with YouTube.
As it turns out – there are some people out there who are taking music from my site, claiming it as their own, and registering it with rights organizations (of some sort).
The music-matching engines on YouTube are now flagging my content as theirs. Can I contact these people and tell them to stop? Not really – when the messages get sent to users, they do not include contact information.
Has this happened to you? Please send me as much information as you can on the entities that have claimed ownership of my music.
It may help me track down the jerks who are pulling this on the “owners’ rights” side of things.
To stop this from happening to you; credit, credit, credit. Include the name of the piece you used (in the text description – so it is easy for YouTube employees to find). Include my name, my site, the license used, and the ISRC number of the recording.
Hopefully, this strategy will work for you.
And if you know of someone in the YouTube rights department – please ask them how I can get this to stop. Can I register my music as a preemptive strike? What can I do here?
Update 1: UMPG Publishing is claiming at least one of my pieces… not sure which yet.
update 2: I have applied for the YouTube Content Identification Application.
New Site for Music
You can pick up about 80 pieces of new music from Leafy Lane Productions (Tom Cusack) over in England.
I hope that keeps you all busy for a few hours. Quite good stuff, and fantastic preview experience! :-)
Electronic; also orchestral
Chipper Doodle, and Chipper Doodle v2 are a few of my new favorite happy electronica pieces (just slow and faster versions)
Our Story Begins is an orchestral overture to… whatever you need an overture for.
