AdRev Avis 14

Horrible and manipulative. What they do is extortion, attacking medium and small YouTuver and content creator of Fair Use videos for proffit.

Scammers!! I used copyright free music , creative common 3.0, they claimed it of course... Will delete my video now...

AdRev is colluding with music publishers and YouTube to extort payments from legitimate users of royalty-free music libraries and Fair Use videos.

Yes, there are way too many examples of people misusing copyrighted material, but AdRev's actions are a perfect example of the axiom "Two wrongs don't make a right."

They keep copyright claiming music I created and own the commercial rights to. Completely unprofessional.

I can't use this service because applications, always rejected and also nothing about it. someone also says if their music are not monetizing properly because the royalty are down for month. fix that

Scammers!!!! Scammers!!!!

The put false copyright claims on my video. They need to be shut down.

They claimed copyright over a video of my daughter playing a public-domain work on the piano. A disgrace.

Scammers! Such scammers! They take public domain music - sometimes even work that OTHER PEOPLE have created and own copyright to - and claim copyright on YouTube, in order to get the ad revenue. I even saw the owner of AdRev copyright claimed a STOCK PHOTO that wasn't even of his own face.

I don't know how they legally get away with it, absolutely vile company. Do anything you can to avoid giving them your money via your own hard work, they deserve to go bankrupt.

Worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. We pay yearly for a world wide license to use songs they manage and every time without fail they will make a copyright claim after our video has been published on YouTube and when we disputed proving that we have a contract paying for the music, they refused to respond and release the video but instead make us wait 30 days for the dispute to be removed because of non response. Horrible partner for YouTube, horrible partner for any music provider. This company needs to be exposed for what they do. They stand in the way of creators making money on YouTube. We as creators need to find a way to contact every artist that deals with Ad Revs and let them know how bad of a reputation they have and how no one wants to use the music they control. Any music that you pay for that Ad Revs controls is a waste of your money. An extremely frustrating and dishonest company to deal with!!!

Scum.
Claim copyright on others work then will monetise claims and when disputed wait the full 30 days so they can maximise their thievery before dropping the claim.
YouTube should be ashamed of themselves and AdRev should be prosecuted for theft.

A hideous bunch of crooks and thieves. They claim the musical composition to public domain music and other music they do not own or represent. Stay away from them.
