Another copyright strike!! (Patreon)

This time it's been manually reviewed by someone... so a real person has listened to the section and upheld the AI decision.  And it sounds absolutely nothing like the disputed track.

I'm so fookin annoyed.  Its so obviously not the same track or anything like it.  I'd urge you to cut and paste this "Flugufrelsarinn"  into Spotify - it's the title of the claimed track and compare with the section at 22 minutes in this vid.

It is quite ambient -it has some chords, but they're not the same and neither is the sound. It's obvious on my video that its me demoing a synth... just so incredible that someones manually OK'd the claim.

It's 3 hours later and I've now added a little melody and hopefully this one won't be claimed... such a waste of time. I did upload the file as "SIGUR ROS can FUCK OFF" haha... so the publisher's will no doubt get a flag for the bands name!!! But how on earth can they get away with this? And why on earth would they bother.  It'll get a few thousand views maximum, with the potential of earning £10!!

I suppose a lot of £10 on false claims adds up to a lot of money.  Other claims I've had have been the algorithm but this being manual really has me fuming.  It's nothing more than theft.  How many people just assume they've got a published track playing in then background or whatever.. and let it slide.

...and there's no way for us to highlight this dubious behaviour or report them we can only go through the 29 day wait for it to eventually be dropped.  ... plus it's only monetised in limited territories. The cash is tiny, but its the principle that it's legitimately mine and some corporation is literally stealing it.  Grrrr.

I've attached a couple of screenshots of the claim and the email.  So annoying!!
