The Sorry State of Youtube

 I uploaded a few dog videos shot over the last few months. To my surprise, when I looked at my list of videos today I found that a number of them were tagged with copyright claims. They are:

1. my dog sleeping and dreaming

2. school kids singing

3. my son playing a keyboard.

In each case, Youtube says there is copyright infringement of songs. However, videos of me playing piano or guitar did not invoke such treatment. Maybe my playing is so bad that even the AI could not tell what I was doing.

The most infuriating thing is that the dog video is silent. Even with my audio volume turned to 100% I could hardly hear any music - if any, the music was probably from a neighbor. It's like searching for the cosmic background noise! You be the judge:
