So as some of you may know, I am a Let's Player on YouTube, I've been doing it for 3 years and love every second of it! My goal in life is to make YouTube and Twitch my full time jobs and provide countless amount of free entertainment for everyone! 

Well, my REAL fight now is with music copyrights, especially for video games. Now most video games are not copyrightable, but sadly, most music IS copyrightable. 

Even though I comply to the fair usage law, that's not how music companies see it. They see it as me stealing their work and selling it for my own profit (Even though I make... like... next to nothing with it).

Ori and the Blind Forest is an outstanding game with beautiful graphics and known for it's above and beyond emersive soundtrack done by Gareth Coker.

I got copyrighted for using his music as I played the game.

WHAT?! It complies with all the laws to make it legal for me to put it up there and they STILL wanted to fight.

So I called up Gareth Coker, the music company that attacked me and got no responses for TWO WEEKS. 

Finally, Gareth messaged me on Skype and told me that there is an email I could write to asking to be put on the whitelist so I no longer get copyrighted.

Sure enough, three days later, the strikes were taken off.

My longest copyright battle thus far and I won! :D YAY!!!!!!
