Well, some updates for everyone.
First, one may notice that I redesigned my website slightly. Expect me to gradually implement more changes for the sake of a more appealing experience here.
The main reason I post this, however, is about my soundtrack to Amnesia: The Great Work. Both the creator of the mod and I have received a few complaints about their YouTube Let's Play videos being flagged as having copyrighted content, namely, my music, so I feel I need to clear up some things.
It is true that I registered the soundtrack with YouTube's Content ID system. However, the videos should not be getting notices to be pulled; all it should do is embed ads for any videos that have the music play loud enough within the video. Even my own videos of the soundtrack on my channel are not immune to this rule (I had allowed them to be claimed by my aggregator) so I do have an idea of how annoying the ads can be.
To make matters more complicated, I already contacted my aggregator on behalf of the people who complained, requesting that the content be de-registered with YouTube. Unfortunately, it's been a few days since I sent them an email, and still I have not received a response, making me also question whether de-registering the content with YouTube's Content ID system is even possible. If this is the case, I regret to say to YouTube Let's Players that you'll have to deal with embedded ads for Amnesia: The Great Work. Apologies for this inconvenience, and by all means, contact me if your video was pulled, as that was most certainly not my intent when I made the initial decision.
Thank you all for your time.
