Wind noise can also be "copyright material"

Youtube filters that analyze injected content for copyright infringement continue to make gross errors. Last time, they recognized bird songs as “copyright material . ” Then it turned out that “copyright owners” earn money by selling YouTube soundtracks and operate with almost bandit methods. For example, when the author of the video with the singing of birds sent a complaint to Google, he received the following answer: “All content owners reviewed your video and confirmed their claims regarding the content, in part or in full.”

Now Youtube has been harmed by another author who posted a full-length film of his own on Youtube with a completely original soundtrack, but received a warning from the system that some of the film’s material may belong to BFM Digital, so advertising banners will be added to the film. During the trial, BFM Digital representatives explained that they own the rights to audio recording of wind noise from the Sound of Nature CD.

Youtube algorithms probably thought the wind noise in the film was very similar to copyright protected sound. So be careful while recording the sounds of nature!

The author is very offended that advertising banners will be inserted into his film. After all, he specifically wanted to put the film on Youtube for free, so that anyone could “buy” it after viewing, that is, to help the author with the help of donations. He worked on the film for 4 years, and the music was written by his friend. The author was offended so much that he deleted the movie from Youtube, so as not to twist someone else's ads.
