My advice: Don't let YouTube's Content ID system affect your choice of level music.

(Though if it appears almost everybody is trolling with this, then we need to talk.)

I can't believe there's more videos of this videogame

@Wraith Adamknight, would you be able to upload Part 20 to either a file hosting website or a muted version on youtube (first option would be preferred) so that people in countries like Canada, Germany, etc. where the video is banned due to copyright issues can be able to watch it in another way?

It didn't inform me that Canada was on the blocked List.
Chances are I'll edit the original file, and just splice the boss itself out, mute it, and place it back in. It'll take some time but since the two developers of this contest have no further interest in fixing this issue for future uploaders, guess I'll have to waste my time.

The copyright thing in all on youtube is kinda bullshit anyway. It's like China banning the entire youtube.

True its all YouTube's fault for ensuring the company in question earns all the money their fatcats need.
But when I put it into light that recording that section of the game means Canada and Germany don't get to view the content, and yet it still hasn't been changed....just frustrates me.

This means Bossy, Mech, Prox or myself can't record this section without taking more time to edit the music used. Considering the multiple problems and random glitches the original ToBX tower has, like CRASHING, I would've expected such a small issue to be handled without needing to press for it...

I don't think any of my SMBX videos are blocked in Canada, at least according to Content ID details.

I actually had an SMW hack video with the "final" Bowser battle ID'ed for visual content. Since it was Nintendo's claim, the video isn't blocked anywhere, but I think a claim would not be possible because:
1. The video was watermarked.
2. The video was actually 4:3 resolution with two little black bars on the left and right, meaning it should not have been able to match.
3. You aren't going to run exactly the same as everyone else.
4. The second and third attacks on Bowser allow him to change direction at any time to follow you.
5. The Mechas won't necessarily move the same way. You may jump on one and then throw it at Bowser at any time.
6. Even if you do attack Bowser the same way every time, I think you'd need to run and attack as you previously did, to the exact pixel.
7. As it was a SMW hack, fine, I confess to save and load stating. Nintendo would not have been able to capture that either.
8. It couldn't have been a manual claim as the video doesn't even have 500 views. I've also uploaded other videos as private only for them to get claimed before I publicize them shortly after.

YouTube cant catch visuals. Otherwise people who do reaction videos would be in a world of trouble. Its audio only...

With the details given to me at the time of the claim, they had to be automatic.
