Dealing with copyright strikes
I run a small channel and recently I've been getting harassed by someone trying to strike my videos. They claim ownership over some gospel music from Baltimore and some gospel music from North Carolina, both are private presses.
Have y'all dealt with this before? Is there a solution? Sadly I deleted the videos to prevent my channel from being taken down but it's wild how some random curmudgeon can deprive the world of music.
Sorry that this isn't exactly music, but I've posted a bunch of tracks here that would disappear if my account gets removed.
