Expanded version of the dealio:

This company, Merlin, is known for wrongfully claiming videos for copyright infringement so that they can get profit from them.

In my Nightmare Nights speedpaint they decided to tag the song "Nightmare Night" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PCEp8z7FNg) as a karaoke version of "Shake It Off" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i5MU14JLdw).  Sounds exactly the same, I know, perfect song match.

Either way, despite my appeals and explanation of the mixup (just so you know, if Mic the Microphone or WoodenToaster had put in the claim I would have gotten rid of the song no problem.  But this was neither) Youtube's reporting system sided with them.

At that point it was either:
Keep the video up, release my appeal and let them get any money made by the video.
Keep the video up, get a copyright strike against my channel, and keep trying to fight it.
or
Remove the video myself before a copyright strike was put into place.

So yeah, you can tell what I chose.


As for the second part of the video
Yeah, what do you guys wanna see?
Shows you'd like me to draw from?
Tutorials?  What do you want me to explain?
