Adsense Problem

Posted on by Kevin MacLeod Posted in Copyright

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!

Busy, busy, busy!!!

Sort of a cooler, driving piece. Lots of space in this piece to make it your own. I don’t mean “make it your own” in that sort of way you do where you mark all the pancakes on your plate with your signature so you can tell if someone switched out your pancakes while you weren’t looking. Honestly that’s pretty weird.Who could possibly want to switch out your pancakes? I mean – who thinks like that? Sure, everyone NOW wants to screw with your pancakes, but before you started all of this – it wouldn’t have crossed one person’s mind! NOT ONE!

How bustling do Gnomish villages get? I imagine not more bustling than this.
If I were a gnome…. out there bustling my butt every day, this would be my soundtrack.

Is there such a thing as a Cheery Monday?

Teddy Bear Waltz


Technically speaking, I think this one is in 6/8 time… in which case, the tempo it 75. If it was notated in 3/4 time, the tempo would be 225 bpm. This piece took almost exactly one year to go from initial idea to produced piece. What was I doing for a whole year!? I mean… it doesn’t exactly sound that difficult.

Cheery Monday


Do you feel good yet? How about now? Now? Okay, now? Just let it sink in. You can’t NOT feel good at this one. Even if you only have one hand and can’t clap along… What Am I Saying!?? People with one hand can totally clap. They just need a friend; Or another body part besides the other hand. There’s plenty of things on the human body to clap against! PLENTY!!

Hey there, swingers and swingees! Grab your berets and cigarettes for this trip to a hip Euro-Space-Age Lounge Music Adventure! Vous ne devriez pas amener un canard à combattre les Belges. Il est important d’avoir un mot de passe fort. Vous souvenez-vous de “Le Manège enchanté”? Parce que je ne me souviens pas de ça.

When will it end!!?? When will it all end!!?? Honestly… probably never. This piece just keeps modulating. Up a half step every time. Didn’t go long enough? Just loop it! It is your own sanity you’re toying with.

This has a couple funny-sounding synths and plenty of whitespace. As a note to YouTube “producers”; 10 hours of this piece would be pretty mean. 1 hour of this piece isn’t much better. For the sake of mankind, please do not make extended mixes of this piece. I can not be held responsible for mental anguish caused by repeated listening.

Deeply satisfying synths play in a slightly dystopian domain. So if you have a film where a future vampire who owns a travelling carnival comes back in time to today with a crazy assemblage of experiences for today’s currently not-yet-jaded audiences… that is your piece! Also useful for cat parkour.

One man metal band!

Posted on by Kevin MacLeod Posted in Music

Head over to Alexander Nakarada at SerpentSound Studios and dig your ears into this melodic metal collection.
“It took me over 7 years of composing until I really dedicated myself to making a true metal album, even though metal was my gateway into music in general (hence the name “Origin”), and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it. Heavier music should be for everyone, people get too easily scared off by the all the gain.”

Available on YouTube, SoundCloud, BandCamp, Spotify and basically everywhere else.
