Sometimes you say they post exactly the same content, David, unless you have access to their original file and your original file, there's no way to know that it is truly exact. And when it comes to content ID matching, that's important because it turns out there have been ways to circumvent the system. If you've ever typed in the name of an episode of a show that's airing or has aired at one time and suddenly you find that you're able to watch it on YouTube and you're going, I thought this was a show I had to pay for via a subscription. You may notice that the video is mirrored or it's upside down, or it's slightly stretched, or the audio has everybody's pitches dropped by, you know, a little bit. All of those are ways to circumvent content id. There are limitations to the matching ability. So if somebody is altering it in some way, that could be why. So, David, you may be uploading the original version of an ACD song as a background track for whatever it is that you've uploaded, but the other person has done so and they've adjusted things by two semitones and they have added in, you know, a blip every now and then. And all of that could be reasons why content ID is not able to identify it. It turns out that short clips sometimes might not trigger a match. Also, lower quality video or audio files may not trigger a match. It's just not a perfect system. So in that way, I suppose luck is playing a role. But I think luck and longevity, or longevity is not the right word, but sort of history are playing in this person's favor. Favor potentially. Of course, you know, some content might not even be in the database at all, but you are talking about kind of the same and yours is getting taken down. So in this case, it probably is the case. There are times when copyright holders might do sort of selective enforcement. Maybe, you know, for some reason you were the one that they came across. And so yours specifically, you know, maybe it's not as automatic, yours gets pulled. It could be that, you know, they had originally just said, hey, if the content, if, if this content is matched, I just want to see the views. They see yours, and it's not getting many views, but there's one that's popular. And so I'm going to go, you know what, I don't want the one that's getting few views to be able to use this because I want this one that's like taking off to be the one that get to share my song and make it more popular. So yeah, there are just loads of different reasons which of course finally gets to the big one, which is that yes, in some cases they are licensing the work. As someone who uploads, you've probably seen a place where you can say, I have licensed this. Or if your content gets Content ID matched, you can dispute by saying, I have a license for this and then share that license. So oftentimes that stuff happens automatically in the background, but occasionally, again, because content ID is not perfect, that falls through and so it ends up being something that you have to correct afterward. So yeah, David, I'm afraid to say that it is. It's very hard to know exactly what's going on, but literally any of those many things I just talked about could be the reason why this specific video got through and yours did not. And you may feel like all of yours are getting blocked again. It could be that you are just, you know, maybe it's that they're lucky, maybe it's that you are unlucky. And so Content ID is quickly spotting your video as a copy. And that is where I recommend looking elsewhere for, you know, stuff that you can use. Creative Commons stuff is. Is a great option or royalty free comm content. There are loads of ways to be able to post stuff on YouTube and other sharing platforms without running into the issue of it being taken away from you. All right, we've got a little bit of follow up next, but I want to take a little moment here to remind you all about Club twit at Twitter TV. Club Twit.

We appreciate it. All right, the follow up comes in from Jerry. Jerry had written in to ask about some issues that he was having where he was plugging in his iPhone on his Windows machine to do backups and it just wasn't working. He couldn't get the iPhone to show up. And I had mentioned that depending on what what set of software Jerry had installed on his Windows machine, it may cause itunes to cease functioning on windows because Apple is trying to move away from the itunes app on windows and move to kind of purpose built apps for different functionality. So Jerry said this. Thanks for answering my question. Much appreciated. I should have mentioned I had Apple devices installed as well. So to be clear, Apple devices is the program on Windows that gives you the ability to do the sort of backup and device management of Apple devices. And because that was installed, it had moved Jerry into the bucket of people who are losing access to itunes because Apple wants to get rid of that. And so the second that you install one of the newer generation tools, then itunes, as the older generation tool ceases complete functionality, meaning that there is still some functionality, but it's limited. Jerry says, I didn't know that Apple devices basically took over itunes if both were installed. So that's what I was just talking about. After listening to the podcast, I made sure my music was transferred to Apple music. So basically going in itunes and making sure that that full library of content, because it sounds like Jerry's not using Apple music, the streaming service and so taking, you know, his files from itunes, popping them into Apple music or making sure that they're actually showing up there is the case. And then he says, and then I uninstalled itunes. Besides backing up to icloud, I like to back up to my xps and I couldn't with itunes any longer after devices was installed. After backing up to my laptop via Apple devices, I uninstalled itunes. All is well. So yes, there's a reminder to those of you on Windows who are trying to manage their Apple devices. Apple wants you to leave itunes in the dust. And that means getting the purpose built apps from Apple, including Apple devices for managing your devices, Apple Music for managing your music. And I think that it's like oh, Apple TV for managing your media content outside of music. Once you've done that. You're living the future, baby, and that's what you want. So thank you, Jerry. And thank you to all of you for tuning in to this week's episode of Hands On Tech. We appreciate it. I'll be back next week with more. Be sure to reach out. Hotwit TV is how you send in your delightful questions and I thank you for your detailed and in depth questions. I'll see you again next week. Bye Bye.

American Giant Ad (17:58)

This country was built on a distinctly American work ethic. But today, work is in trouble. We've outsourced most of our manufacturing to other countries, and with that we sent away good jobs and diminished our capability to make things. American Giant is a clothing company that's pushing back against this tide. They make a variety of high quality clothing and activewear like sweatshirts, jeans, dresses, jackets, and so much more, all made right here in the USA from growing the cotton and adding the final touches. So when you buy American Giant, you create jobs for seamsters, cutters and factory workers in towns and cities across the United States. And it's about more than an income. Jobs bring pride, purpose. They stitch people together.

Geico's motorcycle expertise gives me the coverage I need.

Like 24. Seven claims, I'm on cloud nine.

Geico Ad (18:59)

Clouds are wholly unable to support the weight of an adult human.

Furthermore, clouds are not numbered. Even if you procured a jetpack and searched, you'd find no cloud numbered nine. However, at that altitude, you'd likely befriend a flock of migrating snow geese. Geese who'd encourage you to leave your 24.7geico motorcycle claims insurance behind, as they would take you in and even share their dinner of crickets and clovers with you.
