YouTube is wrong and retards. It’s like putting a copyright symbol on a jar that contains a fart sound. The fart was caused by the type of food you ate last nite which happened to be burger king onion rings, and therefore burger king owns the right to your fart sound and you can’t upload songs to YouTube that contain a sample of your fart since it involves a 3rd party…this is an aberration that greed has created.

Hilarious and true! And also answers my follow-up question about Burger King and sound effects. Thank you!

The problem is with the Content ID algorithm YouTube uses.
How Youtube Content ID Works for CD Baby Artists – EXTENDED EDUCATIONAL CUT
Any piece that could be exactly like someone else’s is a problem. Without Content_ID on a song, you can’t get ad revenue through your distributor. I have yet to determine if it also affects collection by your PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, SOCAN,etc.) as well.
Isn’t this supposed to be a SUPPORT forum?  Where is ToonTrack in this conversation?
QUESTION TO TOONTRACK:  If we customize the drum patterns that we use so that none of the loops are “as is” from Toontrack, would that work? Is this a sample issue or a pattern issue? Or a combination of both? Clearly you are aware of the situation since you have been very careful above to not address the YouTube Content ID portion of this thread, and just keep saying that we can stream or download anywhere we choose.
Please provide some clear advice on what we can do to make these not “canned” loops so that we can work around/not violate the YouTube Content_ID requirement and monetize our songs on YouTube using your tools.
