Those cheeky so-and-so's at CD Baby

[Googly Smythe]

They're claiming copyright over one of my recent tracks - Dorian In C - which I made a simple video of using pix and then posted on YouTube. I'm not posting a link because this isn't a plug, it's a complaint/rant. The song I'm apparantly ripping of is "The Train From Vienna To Munich" by - well I'm not plugging CD Baby either.
So now I'm in dispute with CD Baby. They've got 30 days to respond.

Any one else had/is having this sort of problem? What was the result?

Did you use someone else's music? Their recording? Or did you make a cover of it?

So CD Baby is claiming a "copyright violation" by you of an existing track? If this is based on a YouTube video then wouldn't that more likely be the result of Google's (YouTube's) automated song-matching software that identifies this sort of thing?

No, no and no.
I'm not even sure my track qualifies as music! I used no samples (outside of what comes with my vstis - HALion mostly), melody is non-existent, just a simple 3-chord progression over an even simpler bassline.
As stated by spirit, probably automated software sticking it's unwanted virtual nose in. Hey ho.

Yes, this is dumb software robot. I've got this when I used a bit of Beethoven's, the robot claimed that I ripped off someone who was using the same Beethoven's theme. Just reply to dispute and stand by your rights, apparently replies are being handled by a human. My "case" has been dismissed quickly.

Good to hear!
