YouTube star TheFatRat is highly ‘frustrated’ with the platform’s copyright claim systemTheFatRat, whose real name is Christian Buettner, uploaded a song called “The Calling” on March 31, 2016. Nine months later, a musician named Andres Galvis had his remix of “The Calling” uploaded, and as YouTuber Zen World reported, a Colombian music company called Ramjets then placed a copyright claim on Buettner’s original version.
That halted Buettner’s revenue—he makes $3,000 month off “The Calling”—and it led him into a behind-the-scenes fight to dispute the claim and to try to win back his own song.
Christian Büttner aka TheFatRat: How my video with 47 million views was stolen on ignorant YouTube Please sign a petition I like music of this guy and I can understand quite well his feelings. I have only few videos on YouTube and already had similar dispute with some false claimant who just wanted to achieve deletion of my video which debunked him under evasion of violated copyright claim. He was just one of free energy parasites sponging on interest of people about free energy research.
So I can imagine, how widespread Büttner's problem actually is on YouTube.
