I'm going to harshly criticize YouTube and its "copyright" on music. Take this post however you want, it's just written on emotions experienced recently. Anyway, I'm posting a remix of a track from Crazy Taxi - "Way Down The Line" - on YouTube and Newgrounds today. The video was uploaded to YouTube and Newgrounds. A few minutes later, I received a copyright complaint on YouTube. At this point I got really angry and deleted the remix from Newgrounds because I was afraid I would be blocked from posting tracks because of the Newgrounds complaint. Guess what I got a complaint for? Maybe because of the used track from the original song? Or because of the vocals? You are wrong!!! Because of the similar samples that I never heard when listening to the original track! It was the same with the latest remix of the Hatsune Miku track. Maybe the YouTube bots should wash their ears with soap and check the remix again for similar samples?
YouTube's logic:
Quickly block all videos with dismemberment and sexual content - no.
As soon as the remix is uploaded, file a copyright complaint because of similar, different-sounding samples - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YEEEEEES!

I wish to know, did this song contain even an ounce of content from the original crazy taxi song? Because if I recall crazy taxi uses licensed music which is a legal hell to deal with.

But at least my remix wasn't deleted from YouTube, that's a good thing.
