Violation of My Copyright!

Understanding Copyright Violation

In the digital age, protecting your creative work is more crucial than ever. As a music creator, I recently faced a troubling situation when I received a notification from Google regarding a copyright claim on my latest music video, Relaxing Music.

Despite being the rightful owner, I found myself in a perplexing predicament that raised questions about the security of my content and the potential for unauthorised access. 

In this post, I'll share my experience and I hope that it serves as a reminder to creators to stay vigilant.

Someone Has Violated My Copyrighted Content!

I uploaded my latest music video (Relaxing Somewhere) to YouTube two days after I'd created it. And yesterday, the Google support team sent me an email, stating something to the effect that I need to get a certificate for copyrighted content. 

Why should I get a certificate when I'm the copyright owner??!! So obviously someone must have uploaded my latest music and/or my latest music video on one or more platforms before I uploaded it to YouTube! Or someone must have lodged a complaint to Google, claiming that I've violated their copyright! 

But who could have gained access to my music/music video before I uploaded it to YouTube? Obviously it must be someone who has access to my phone and/or my laptop! It's not my family because they don't have access to them. 

Who could it be then? Obviously the person must have gained unauthorised access to my phone and/or laptop (for example, via spyware) and have acted under the instructions of a tyrant!

Guilty Conscience?!

Why would they do that? A possibility could be that I did my very FIRST podcast yesterday, briefly sharing about how the tyrant has been CONSTANTLY interfering in my job search (through his men, obviously), leading to a PROLONGED PERIOD of unemployment for me.

Taking Action Against Copyright Infringement

The experience of having my copyrighted content violated has been both frustrating and enlightening. It highlights the importance of vigilance in protecting our creative works from unauthorised access and misuse. As creators, we must be proactive in understanding our rights and the legal avenues available to us. 

The tyrant and his accomplices may think they can act without consequences, but it is essential to hold them accountable. By standing up for our rights, we can ensure that our creative endeavours are respected and that justice prevails for all artists facing similar challenges.


Cheers,

Finding Light in the Darkness: Is Suicide the Answer to Life's Challenges?

Image
Introduction    Suicide is a topic that's close to my heart, because I'd contemplated about ending my life on numerous occasions in the past. Globally, suicide remains a silent crisis, affecting countless individuals and families. Despite the stigma, it’s crucial to have open conversations about it, especially because it often stems from mental health struggles that require understanding and compassion. How Prevalent is Suicide Globally? With over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year globally, this equates to one life lost every 40 seconds. ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/suicide#tab=tab_1 ) This number may be higher due to under-reporting caused by stigma surrounding suicide in many cultures.  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate )  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally.( https://www.who.int/news/item/17-06-2021-one-in-100-deaths-is-by-suicide ) The global suicide rate is about 9 per 100,000 people, but it va...

Bullied No More!

Image
Introduction I've been a victim of bullying since young. And I think I've acquired what's known as 'learned helplessness' from many years of being bullied, which was probably why I used to think that I was powerless to change anything in my life no matter how much I hated what was happening! For many years, I felt so disempowered and over time, I came to believe that whatever that had happened must happen as a matter of fate. What is Learned Helplessness? According to  Very Well Mind , learned helplessness "occurs when a person who has experienced repeated challenges comes to believe they have no control over their situation". ( https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-learned-helplessness-2795326 )  Berkeley Well-Being Institute puts it this way: When we believe that we can't change our painful circumstances, we stop trying and  we just endure what's happening. ( https://www.berkeleywellbeing.com/learned-helplessness.html ) What is Bullying? Bullying...

The Surprising Influences of Neuroplasticity on Your Life

Image
What is Neuroplasticity?  According to wikipedia.org, neuroplasticity is " the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned". And according to https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, neuroplasticity, " also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain ".   Neuroplasticity is at work at almost every moment. All your behaviours and thoughts can either rewire your brain or reinforce the neural pathways that are already there.   Neuroplastic Change Chemical change  occurs in the initial stages of learning something new. It primarily affects short-term memory or short-term improvement of a motor skill. Structural change  occurs when neurons in the brain change their connections, thereby altering the brain structure. This type of chang...
