Game creater Bungie decided to take one creator to court after they allegedly filed nearly 100 fake copyright claims. Malicious copyright strikes are hardly a new incident on YouTube. What gives them the right to take down the best channel on youtube,” wrote the user.
Now their livestreams can't be accessed in Malaysia. “For context, I was studying while listening to lofi girl before both of their streams got taken down by a certain FMC Music Sdn Bhd Malaysia. In a Reddit thread on r/Malaysia entitled, “Who the hell is FMC Music Sdn Bhd Malaysia and why did they copywrite strike lofi girl?”, a despondent fan urged others to “make some noise” on the record label’s socials. In an ironic twist, Lofi Girl also has a considerable Malaysian fanbase, who were also quite unhappy about the channel’s removal. Most of Lofi Girl’s largely Gen-Z and younger Millennial fanbase rely on the music to study, relax or meditate. The relatively unknown record label was hit hard with online abuse over the weekend, as fans of Lofi Girl flocked to its social media channels and demanded to know why it filed the fake claim. “Confirmed the takedown requests were abusive & terminated the claimants account 😔 we've resolved the strikes + reinstated your vids – it can sometimes take 24-48 hours for everything to be back to normal! so sorry this happened & thx for your patience as we sorted it out,” wrote YouTube on Twitter, in response to Lofi Girl’s request on Monday that the streams be reinstated.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. After receiving a counterclaim from the creators of Lofi Girl, YouTube manually reviewed FMC’s complaint and came to the conclusion that the record label had no ownership over the music. The origin of the DMCA claims came from FMC Music, a Malaysian record label. In a tweet, the owner of the Lofi Girl channel - which has been streaming relaxing ambient music since 2017 - announced that the streams have relaunched after a nearly 48-hour hiatus. A much-loved YouTube account featuring calm hip-hop beats is back online today, after two popular radio live streams (the oldest of which has been playing non-stop for two years) got yanked from the platform due to bogus copyright claims.
