The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Fight it Bart. These are copyright trolls essentially working in collaboration with youTube in my opinion. Virtually every video I upload gets these kinds of claims. You can in one of the screenshots I uploaded see that for one video, SIX of these scumbag organizations claim copyright.

Below is a template I've more or less used to clear multiple claims on about 150 videos.

"This recording is 100 years old and is in the public domain. This particular recording and the machine on which it's played are owned by me. The video recording of the machine playing is my artistic work and is copyrighted and owned by me. This recording was made for educational purposes and I do not profit from it."


Good luck Bart!

Without any explanation, the copyright claims on my video's have disappeared. So I seem to have won this case!
