A Group Of Misfits Calling Themselves IFPI (@IFPI_org) Are Flagging Content On My YouTube Channel

Today, I received an e-mail from YouTube's Support Team telling me that they had yanked one of my videos because of a copyright claim from IFPI And I would appreciate it if would IFPI would retract their copyright claim because IFPI are a third-party source who are not owners of the questionable content. IFPI (the company doing the flagging) have no connection at all to Kendrick Lamar. The person that actually MADE the music. I'm a music promoter so I me promoting Kendrick Lamar's music falls under "fair use." In some situations, you may make limited use of another's copyrighted work without asking permission or infringing on the original copyright.

"Under the "fair use" rule of copyright law, an author may make limited use of another author's work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. A commercial motive doesn't always disqualify someone from claiming a fair use. A use that benefits the public can qualify as a fair use, even if it makes money for the user.

For example, in its advertising a vacuum cleaner manufacturer was permitted to quote from a Consumer Reports article comparing vacuum cleaners. Why? The ad significantly increased the number of people exposed to the Consumers Reports' evaluations and thereby disseminated helpful consumer information. The same rationale probably applies to the widespread practice of quoting from favorable reviews in advertisements for books, films, and plays."
