MrBeast calls out YouTube after being hit with false copyright strike MrBeast, YouTube \/ YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson uploaded a video to Twitter on February 11, where he bemoaned the current state of YouTube\u2019s Content ID system. MrBeast explained that his video, \u201cI Put 100 Million Orbeez In My Friend\u2019s Backyard,\u201d had been hit with a copyright claim \u2013 which was issued from a claimant wholly unrelated to the strike. The YouTuber speculated that his video\u2019s claim may have resulted from his squad singing Bon Jovi\u2019s popular song, \u2018Livin\u2019 on a Prayer,\u2019 although no beat or background music were used. Additionally, the claim had been issued for using a song by \u2018Pascal Landguirand,\u2019 a Canadian musician of duo \u2018Trans-X\u2019 known for their popular 1983 hit \u2018Living On.\u2019 MrBeast\u2019s video had been manually reviewed by \u2018Living On\u2019s\u2019 record holder under Sony, although his song was never used in the clip, prompting him to edit the offending footage nearly three months later. Last tweet about getting claimed, hope this gives more context. pic.twitter.com\/cHJDCa75i0 \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) February 11, 2019 The YouTuber expressed frustration at the lack of information presented in YouTube\u2019s older analytics system, and claimed that he had to do \u201cdetective work\u201d to understand why his video had been claimed. This isn\u2019t the first time MrBeast has been vocal about YouTube\u2019s copyright system, either; the YouTuber also uploaded a screenshot showing a slew of his content that had been demonetized due to claims, and even offered to pay an expert to help him avoid similar pitfalls in the future. These companies don\u2019t give time stamps when they copyright claim my videos and idk if they are fake or real. I\u2019m seriously looking to pay someone to help me figure this stuff out, reply if you have experience. Even my new video just got claimed and we only used epidemic sounds. pic.twitter.com\/7zv9yO6QwH \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) February 11, 2019 MrBeast\u2019s complaints follow a plethora of other such instances across the platform, with one YouTuber having his own, original song claimed against him by an unknown party. MrBeast\u2019s Orbeez video currently boasts a whopping 46 million views as of January 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
