FUCK CONTENT ID lyrics
FUCK CONTENT ID lyrics
Shout out to Youtube's officially recommended
copyright-free audio library for this amazing
instrumental. One of over 7 hip-hop
instrumentals in the audio library.
Dear Youtube, this here's too you.
To tell you that your new rules are poo-poo.
I don't know who does your business stuff lately.
But it's an understatement that they've pissed us off greatly.
Redirecting funds from the kids who have made you,
and giving them straight to, the pricks in the grey suits,
that couldn't give a fuck for the Youtube community.
For a quick buck there's nothing
that they wouldn't do to me.
Nerd cubed got struck for publishing a photo,
that contained nothing but his own fucking logo.
My mate Gavin got caught making wealth,
from using music that he stole from himself.
Boogie hates it too,
though he may not be connected.
But when the walls fall down he'll be affected.
With none of us protected,
we're on some wild-west shit.
But with an automated sheriff no one gets arrested.
Bzzzzt!
Infringing content detected.
I suggest you don't even bother to contest it.
(Chorus)
This is the winter of our discontent,
Where Google gives consent,
for you to nick content.
From Youtubers too puny to put up a defense.
They're glued stuck in cement.
It's too tough to prevent.
This is the winter of our discontent.
Copyright trolls roll up,
and we are stiffed on rent.
This is the winter of our discontent.
Ideally you'd give back every stolen cent!
It’s like a labyrinth of
licenses and lies insisting
I have nicked shit but
I’ll fight life and limb to lift it
I know I might have the littlest voice
But I will always call
bullshit if given the choice
We can only make change with enough noise
So let me demonstrate how
simple the system is to exploit
(One) First find a YouTuber who you want to screw up
(Two) Pick a new video
they’ve done or one that blew up
(Three) Submit a copy to the CMS stash, click
You’ll earn cash quick the minute that it matches
The paper’s taken from the
creator that made it straight away
Without the need to even
briefly speak to people face to face
You can just take them
on a Kafkaesque paper chase
Because there’s no
accountability within the database
So if they’re making complaints, you can ignore these
And keep on earning from
their work for up to four weeks
When the four weeks is up,
you just release the claim
Keep the change and start the whole thieving scheme again
It’s easy taking candy from a baby, piece of cake
Google don’t give a fuck, they get their profit either way
(Chorus)
Somehow you managed to put out a statement
That brushed aside
every single last complaint, look:
You didn’t mention your
system dismisses fair use
Or how we can reclaim our redirected revenues
That guilty until proven innocent is an affront
And that to prove your
innocence can take several months
Nah, you just published a puff piece
If I’d point out animal abuse,
you’d say “Look at these puppies.”
Game publishers have explicitly stated
They don’t want to claim on any Let’s Plays created
They’re actually pissed off about the changes
Just as much as we are,
you don’t have to go to Cambridge
University to see it’s proven universally
Your circuitry needs urgent work
to cease us losing permanently
It’s news worthy of a parody, Ron Burgundy
We’re swirling in a purgatory
that’s worthy of East Germany
The Berlin Wall is like the strikes we’re receiving
Now where’s David Hasselhoff when you need him?
This wall is obviously gonna to fall before we stop
So you might as well call it off, Mister Gorbachev
I used to love YouTube and what it stood for
But good Lord,
now the scrap heap is all it’s good for
(Chorus)
Independent YouTubers made YouTube
Then YouTube got huge and
shafted them up the arse
On behalf of the traditional
dinosaur entertainment industry
Keeping us locked in the
20th century since the 20th century
Thanks, so much… Bellends
