Episode 47: An organization called The Orchard Music Group has tried to claim copyright ownership to the music in two of my earlier episodes.

I've NEVER used copyrighted music on this show. EVER. Everything here is either public domain or royalty free Creative Commons licensed.

So basically Orchard Music tried to lay claim to music that didn't belong to them.

Not on MY show they're not...

Apparently a LOT of YouTube users have had problems with Orchard Music making false copyright claims to music on their videos. If you are one of them, here's how you can get in touch with them:
