Hello MMD!  While this whole "YouTube Video" thing is, to my eyes,
only slightly covering our usual topics, I found myself wanting to
reply to this particular thread for a while now already -- but as
usual, life gets in the way!

One of the key things I want to pass around as quickly and to as many
people as possible is, that you _do not_ have to suffer from any sort
of advertising, particularly not on YouTube!  Please Google immediately
"AdBlock" -- it will pretty much list the one you need for the browser
you are using at the very moment as the top entry.  Click your way
through it, have the App/Add-On installed and Bob is your uncle!  No
more ads!  Now back to YouTube and uploading.

I have not uploaded anything much recently, but the engine behind it
should be still pretty much the same.  YouTube have an automatic system
that scans new uploads and compares them to copyrighted materials.
This is -- I repeat myself -- an entirely automated system.  Because of
that, you sometimes also will receive "wrong hits" upon uploading a
video, with the name of the supposedly used tune being way off.

When I upload videos I always contest their claims, as it is usually
a video of myself performing my own arrangement of the supposed tune,
all under fair use!  And (I'm repeating myself here again from a post
a long time back) worst case I can always claim my arrangement to be
for the purpose of parody, which again is a fair use way of publishing.

I prefer not to have advertising on my videos (if there are, please
inform me!) especially not, if it is not me collecting the benefits of
my views (which by the way is enormously ridiculous, if you were to
make your videos to try and have income from YouTube; you literally
need combined count of 10s of millions of views per month on your
videos for that to be any sort of worthwhile a time spent).

Hopefully this has shed some light on how YouTube works.

Musically,
