INgrooves and Under Review

Bonjour, everyone !

Last month, just after the inner changes of YouTube's system the monetization became all crazy for me. Now, I have two big issues and I don't know how to deal with them.

- 4 of my videos were monetized (strangely most of my most viewed ones...) became simply contested with the following advice : more informations are necessary to review your request monetization
The problem : it's videos of Amnesia : The Dark Descent ; A Machine For Pigs, and Slender: The Eight Pages.
I verified, and the developpers stated that they were OK with videos AND monetization.
I contested in YouTube, and now, it's just stuck under review since a month already. I wonder if some of you guys had this problem and was it fixed ? Because I have the elements necessary in order to proove that everything is in order, but they won't even let me do so.

- My next problem is : INgrooves. Now I've been flagged with all sort of bs*ters like AdRev, Omnimedia and others. I strongly believe INgrooves is one of them, and a persistent one.
The thing is, they claim that they own Infected Mushroom. But I've searched for their label, it's Dim Mak Records, right ?
I've also searched in the library of INgrooves, and didn't manage to find Infected Mushroom somewhere.
So, they don't own the rights but they pretend to, unless I didn't look in the right place.
Maybe I'm wrong there, but I contested them saying that.
Still, they firmly claim to own the song.

In the first place, it's my fault for using a sample (30 seconds) of a music of Infected Mushroom. The deal is, I didn't know it WAS an original music. I was looking for a music with the same style of the group or a remix who would sound very different. Back then, I wasn't aware of all the rights problems and for example : royalty free music, I didn't even know that existed ! So when I found a remix of some other YouTuber, I asked him the permission to use a sample of his work, thinking it was OK in term of rights. I lacked informations. Nevertheless, I contacted Dim Mak Records in order to fix this issue, but I'm not even sure that it will help.

Whatever. My question is : does somebody else had problems with INgrooves like this one and managed to solve them ? Because even if I point that they don't own Infected Mushroom, they don't back up. I want to contest it, but I don't even know if, with the written consent of Dim Mak Records, they will cancel their claims.
I don't want to risk a copyright strike or anything else, because my channel is all in good-standards right now.

Thanks in advance.
Greetings to ya'all ! /o/
 
But they may own the rights to that song? Content owners usually have over 100,000 different assets (sound clips, music, videos etc)

Anyhow, the YouTube content_ID system is for the most part, automatic. So ingrooves may have a similar asset which YouTube is just flagging one of your videos as being a match of. that's down to YouTube not them.
If you're 100% sure that's the case, then just appeal the Match.
 
I have heard of this problem all around youtube and I will say...thank god I do not make Gaming Videos right now XD
 
Well i had a problem with INgrooves yesterday.
My video was only 30 sec short and the music start at 20.
So this means there is only 10 seconds of music and even the music is from Death Note they come and give me a claim.
They told me the title was somewhat with "hybrid",well i forgot the exact title but i searched the entire internet for INgrooves and it seems they never had something do to with Death Note.(its an anime for those who dont know)
But infact i dont want to get stressed up and the video only got less views i just deleted it.
Well,10 Seconds of a tiny piece music and INgrooves go grazy...

INgroove or INgrooves ?
If this was INgrooves, I highly doubt that they own anything about Death Note, especially when you seek informations about them.
The fact is, they don't cancel their claim after the first contest, so I really want to verify my informations and get as many testimonies as possible against them so I can make a proper decision, not a rushed one.
 
It's okay, I wanted to be sure !
So, anyone having other issues like vegeta with INgrooves, or stuck under review problem ?
