"You should know by now that YouTube's ContentID system is a horrible mess.
This system, which allows purported intellectual property owners to claim other
people's uploads as containing their content, and then allowing those purported
owners to either take the videos down or monetize them for themselves, is so
rife with abuse, trolls, and mistakes that it's a wonder anyone at any point
thought this was an idea that could work."

Very clever, but kind of sad that it's necessary to go to these lengths.

Cheers,
