A fairly popular Youtube channel (probably make around 20k a year from videos and ads) has been using music from my old band in their intros. Which I feel cool about it, but I'm pissed because they aren't even giving credit to us in the video bios.

The music isn't copyrighted, so am I basically shit out of luck in terms of going after them legally?

You're fucked

>>18102781
call them out
>>
>>18102781
I would approach them kindly and say, "hey, man, thanks for using my old band's music in the intros!!!! I am flattered. I just wanna ask for one quick favor: would you mind mentioning the band that made it in your video descriptions? Would greatly appreciate that, as it would be advantageous to us!"

Kill 'em with kindness.

>>18102789
and if they say no, screenshot the conversation and post on every video's comments section.

Thank you for the advice, I've been spamming the link to our Bandcamp on all of their uploads

>>18102793
Hit up their social media too if they still won't budge. As a last resort: call them out on their bullshit; they'll want to save face
>>
>>18102781

music is automatically copyrighted upon creation, it doesn't have to be filed, you could still take them to court and demand a percentage of everything.

unless by not copyrighted you mean that you uploaded them under a creative commons license, but even then if your license included arbitration and they didn't credit you, then yeah you can still sue.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS OP

>>18102793
well you already have been spamming their comments sections nonstop. i dont think they're gonna give a shit about kindness at this point.

i would still try, but you kinda mucked that up already.

shoulda handled it more cordially.

also, suing without trying to do what i just said is fucking stupid. people that do that are a big reason why the world's so fucked up atm and they should all just die in a fire.
>>
>>18102829
By spamming I mean that I just posted the link once in each of their videos; I haven't been like posting the link like 5 times per video lol.

I'll shoot the one guy a message and see.
>>
>>18102842
there you go man

dish out the decency you would like in return :)
>>
>>18102805
