Take note that Lofi Girl is an music label using their stream as main advertisement for their artists. They definitely have the rights for the respective tracks.<p>As a regular lofigirl listener, i wish youtube dies a painful death. Their claiming/strike system is bringing so much pain to content creators.<p>As for now, you can also listen on <a href="https://lofigirl.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">https://lofigirl.bandcamp.com</a>.
Tangential, but does “copyright strikes” system on YouTube feels horrifically dystopian to anyone else?<p>In one way, it reads, “if you break the law enough, we’ll disable your account. Naughty naughty!” But then when you look at how the system works, almost anyone can just claim they own a copyright with absolutely no proof which has massive implications to your account whether that means you can have your account deactivated or (even more scary) you can be demonetized or have penalties (aka royalties) paid to the “original” creator.<p>This whole thing feels like a combination of the Salem witch trials, a social credit score, and The Hunger Games disgusted as a egalitarianism.
Looks like YouTube has reinstated, though Google engineers apparently aren't smart enough to propagate such a change in less than 48 hours: <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1546419223466999809" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1546419223466999809</a><p>It's such a good thing this is the only mistake they made, and no legitimate users have ever been taken down by this mechanism!
WTF???!! I use this everyday. I wish I downloaded it with youtube-dl or something. It helps me a lot when trying to focus and multi-task.<p>What is happening to Youtube? I can't even find related content on it anymore (try to watch some song or talk and all the recommendations are about some conspiracy rabbit hole it wants to take me into).<p>Why has no one competed with them so far in a meaningful way? You would think this would be right up Netflix's alley.
Is it possible to build all the combinations of notes computationally, upload it to YT, and then cry of copyright violation when someone accidentally creates a match?
