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
