A university professor has conducted a test of YouTube’s Content ID system with uploads of classical music, and found that copyright owners were incorrectly flagging uploads while Google was unresponsive to requests for support, TorrentFreak reported<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Professor\u00a0Ulrich Kaiser, University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, recently launched a YouTube channel called Labeltest<\/a><\/strong> after the video platform flagged old recordings of classical music he uploaded.<\/p>\n

Kaiser uploaded 10 videos to the channel which featured music by Beethoven, Wagner, and Schubert. The youngest recording was made in 1963.<\/p>\n

All the videos were flagged by Content ID, and Kaiser challenged the claims – asserting his rights under German law by stating that the composers were all dead – and the copyrights had expired.<\/p>\n

Eight of the objections<\/strong><\/a> resulted in the copyright claim being lifted, but\u00a0Deutsche Grammophon\/UMG insisted that its copyright on two of the recordings remained valid.<\/p>\n

Attempts to obtain support from Google were futile, Kaiser said. Sending emails to the address Google lists to obtain support yields a response which states mails “cannot be read or registered” at that address.<\/p>\n

Email forms on the Google support website also do not enable contact with YouTube staff members.<\/p>\n
