| Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Morpheus_777 | 11/24/11 7:03 AM | I used NASA's public domain astronomy pictures to create a slide show and dubbed it with public domain music played by the US Air Force Band.

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | markimatang | 11/24/11 11:15 AM | GoDigital MG is one of many “entities” that do not review disputes, they just automatically file the “reviewed and confirmed” notice reasoning that most of the time it is correct and they can’t be bothered with the small amount of harm that it causes |
| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 11/26/11 1:00 PM | Perhaps they are not aware that a blind right to take action against alleged infringers does not give them standing to file DMCA or other infringement claims. They need to look at recent decisions against Righthaven copyright trolling to help them un |

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 12/4/11 9:42 PM | If the recording was not made by the U.S. government, it's copyrighted. This is true both for a recording of a President's speech and for a recording of a U.S. Navy band. Thus, you need to verify that both recordings were actually created by the U.S. |
| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | markimatang | 12/4/11 10:44 PM | Well Mxsmanic, are you sure? I mean like I ain’t no lawyer but uh, is the copyright for a digital image different from a digital sound? |
| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 12/5/11 4:02 AM | Bridgeman v.

It is true that a work must be original in order to be protected, but the t |
| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Alameth | 12/12/11 12:01 PM | Got flagged today by GoDigital MG for a piece composed by George F.

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Alameth | 12/13/11 2:20 PM | Followup: I filed the dispute, both with GoDigital MG and with YouTube.

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 12/13/11 2:48 PM | If they get a Content ID match for material they don't actually own, and they monetize the video, then it is indeed a form of piracy, since they are then infringing on someone else's copyright and making money from it, with the approval and assistanc |
| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | markimatang | 12/13/11 4:44 PM | “@Markimatang: It wouldn't be piracy unless they demanded money, which they didn't.” They most certainly did!

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 12/14/11 7:27 AM | YouTube makes money from false copyright claims, so they have no incentive at all to do anything about it, unless someone successfully sues them. |

| Re: Why does GoDigital MG claim copyrights on public domain music? | Mxsmanic | 12/15/11 9:26 PM | And that's one of several weaknesses to the Content ID system, which is a poor solution to the infringement problem.
