RPM making illegal money off my videos!

It's not the point. I'm not that wealthy and i'm just trying to earn some cash whereas RPM can be considered as a rich corporation.

How I got into RPM in the first place? I had videos uploaded from the start and they still accepted me into the network. I guess they saw a easy money potential in my channel, which turned out correct. My analytics proves so. Lifetime earnings was around $15000. All this made in 6 months.

I can understand wanting to make money, but I don't really think there is much you can do legally, since you have copyrighted material.
Try disabling monetisation on all videos then re enabling it?

That really doesn't matter though. If you upload content that isn't yours, then you have no right to that money, so if your big bucks are coming from those videos, you have no right to complain about it.

If they have content matched to them then you wouldn't earn anything and neither would RPM. The money goes to the people that own the rights.

Yeah but why should RPM get the money.

The only reason why I am complaining is
1. They didn't send my second payment which I was due to get for before I had the copyright strike
2. They 'could' be receiving money off my videos even if the content wasn't mine. I guess i'll delete them. But it's not the point. My analytics says $12,000. Where has that money gone?

Ha! You think if I ask RPM if they received those funds? You think they'll own up to it? Hell no.

The chances are, they're not. The copyright holders are.

Analytics, also, are estimated, to my knowledge. Not final figures.

Yeah, some finally have content id claims, the rest are 'technically copyrighted by BBC' but no claims have been made for them by the BBC, so RPM has in fact well and truly stole the cash!

If you made the money from copyrighted content it doesn't matter if it was made before or after you got caught.

Fair play, your truly correct. I guess its end of discussion but still... why did my videos still have the green monetization tab next to them, and multiple ads running on each of my videos. Someone must of got the money. And the videos were from different producers and most of the producers never made claims, so it leaves me thinking either no one got the money, youtube has the money, or it got sent to rpm.

I agree with this.

You stole the videos, so you shouldn't even be making money from them in the first place. You get what you deserve.
