I had this problem last February after uploading some Tarrega (on a
Torres guitar copy). In whatever it was that notified me that
publishers thought they wanted to slap some ads on these, there was an
option to challenge it and say that in fact I had the rights or
permission to use the material. It took a couple of goes but in the
end it worked.
When I was researching this amongst the Youtube Q&A forum stuff there
was a chap who had done a brilliant and very funny performance of the
Pachelbel Canon (playing all the instruments) complaining that the
system wanted to put ads on it. I added a very robust reply telling
the company it had no right to try to fix copyright on material decades
or centuries out of any copyright law: it looks like their desire for
revenue is still trumping that principle
I haven't put anything else on youtube since but am currently recording
some much more recent material that definitely is in copyright, one of
which is by me. I wonder if they'll try to tell me I don't own the
copyright to that?
One thing I plan on trying is uploading the video without any
identifying names or description and leaving it like for a week or two,
to see if the system forgets about it.

Some of you post videos on YouTube of yourselves playing early music

Weichenberger,
De Visi? 1/2 Sanz, Bach, whatnot. What is happening here, and how do

stop it? Any experience out there?
