#2Take note that Lofi Girl is an music label using their stream as main advertisement for their artists. They definitely have the rights for the respective tracks.
As a regular lofigirl listener, i wish youtube dies a painful death. Their claiming/strike system is bringing so much pain to content creators.
As for now, you can also listen on https://lofigirl.bandcamp.com.

Do they have a live Peertube?

#4Tangential, but does “copyright strikes” system on YouTube feels horrifically dystopian to anyone else?
In one way, it reads, “if you break the law enough, we’ll disable your account. Naughty naughty!” But then when you look at how the system works, almost anyone can just claim they own a copyright with absolutely no proof which has massive implications to your account whether that means you can have your account deactivated or (even more scary) you can be demonetized or have penalties (aka royalties) paid to the “original” creator.
This whole thing feels like a combination of the Salem witch trials, a social credit score, and The Hunger Games disgusted as a egalitarianism.

The incentives today are crap. YouTube takes on a ton of liability if they get a valid takedown request but they leave it up, so the safest thing for them to do is immediately take down anything with a claim against it. This is obviously gameable by bad-faith actors.

#6Is it possible to build all the combinations of notes computationally, upload it to YT, and then cry of copyright violation when someone accidentally creates a match?

The thing is YouTube’s takedown process _isn’t_ a DMCA one. It’s one they made up to satiate the media companies that were suing them.
An actual DMCA compliant process is much more user friendly - https://copyrightalliance.org/education/copyright-law-explai...

They haven't uploaded to YouTube, but that's kind of the idea of this project: http://allthemusic.info/

Just a theory on what happened, but sampling is almost always not fair use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music)#Legal_and_eth...), and I see many indie labels publishing music with sampling in them. Regardless of your opinion here, it would make YouTube in the clear.

#10WTF???!! I use this everyday. I wish I downloaded it with youtube-dl or something. It helps me a lot when trying to focus and multi-task.
What is happening to Youtube? I can't even find related content on it anymore (try to watch some song or talk and all the recommendations are about some conspiracy rabbit hole it wants to take me into).
Why has no one competed with them so far in a meaningful way? You would think this would be right up Netflix's alley.
