Everyone who has videos of their games on Youtube please lookout for companies who are trying to claim your work. You can check your account and if a notice is there about copyright problems then CHECK IT! If you are already noticing ads on your videos then a company is claiming/disputing copyrights to the work. I recently had to dispute GoDigital who is trying to claim my game Dark Chaos.
I am sure some companies are doing this just to get more ads online then actually really wanting the rights to the games.

Oh yeah, some assholes tried to claim a copyright to music that I made. Original music.
It was a quick solve, though (and even if I didn't, who cares? It was kind of a throwaway tune.)
-
Take-Two Interactive (the distributor) had my GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony let's play removed. But that's obviously not my game. Never had any company try to take down my work or make money off of it.

I remember once I had put something up, original graphics (Horrible drawings) and such. With RTP game music, company assumed it was from final fantasy...:s Its kind of annoying because I got it from rpg maker lol.
-
This is making me lol, How low can people sink. The music case seems the most absurd.
I have had similar claims although through comments about a script i wrote for GMod, Shitraped the guy with shit though :V

Good to know.
If someone tries to steal my work, I will rain sulfur on their lands.

You'd throw rotten eggs at them?

From the sky!

I heard this works if your video pertains to any of the mentioned categories:
1) Select "Resolve Copyright" on the video you are having copyright issues with.
2) Scroll down and pick the option "I want to learn more about this dispute process".
3) Scroll down and pick the option "Take me to the dispute form".
4) Pick option #2 and PASTE the following statement into the text bar next to it;
"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."
