Teh lulz! Legit buyers are being robbed by Google!
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/30/871207"If you ever post your projects on Youtube for advertising income, be aware that The Hollywood Edge is now digitally fingerprinting their sound effects. What does this mean?
Digital Fingerprinting is a way of identifying your content, for instance, if you upload images or music that doesn't belong to you, various companies can identify that music or image and claim the advertising income away from you. And if you are lifting music or images, this is a way that the legitimate owner can find and claim that which was taken from them.
It has gotten out of control. This is the latest chapter. I found 2 of my videos were being claimed on behalf of Hollywood Edge by AdRev because I used a sound effect! A sound effect which I thought I had the use of when I bought the library package back in 1999. After all, that is why you buy a sound effects library right? Well I guess if you buy the Hollywood Edge sound effects library, it is so they can claim the rights of your work in the digital environment. This is important even if you don't post your work on Youtube for income because this is how the digital rights environment is going to operate in the future. Any new suggestions for a sound effects library I can use in the future without them taking my income?
