Having been on Youtube for over 12 years now, the Stairwell Carollers has fought a few battles over copyright. Not the silliest being ones for our Director, Pierre’s own original compositions! Our Youtube choral music video is always from our concerts and any copyright pieces are not monetized.
Sure enough, we uploaded our video of O vos omnes by Tomas Luis de Victoria from our Spring concert last June. Bam. A copyright notice!
For an obviously Public Domain piece!
There are scammers everywhere, and YouTube is not by any means free of them. (Imagine trying to get a piece of our already meagre YouTube earnings.)
Of course, I am disputing it. Details to come… (I’m usually successful fighting these fakes)
Here it is!
