"Again and again, YouTube told me that I was violating the copyright of
these long-dead composers, despite all of my uploads existing in the
public domain. I appealed each of these decisions, explaining that 1)
the composers of these works had been dead for more than 70 years, 2)
the recordings were first published before 1963, and 3) these takedown
request did not provide justification in their property rights under the
German Copyright Act."
