The article has a lot more content, too much to post. Worth reading for specific historical cases and how music copyright law evolved, and getting some insight into how "Fair Use" is nearly impossible to win in your average videos (It's so bad, even Weird Al seeks permission first. Rewritten lyrics aren't enough. And you need to comment on the music itself, in strictest readings of the law, so no background music of an unrelated video.)

His videos get demonitized any time he uses a copyrighted piece of music despite him clearly using it under fair use for teaching guitar. Even when he doesn't use the original music or live recordings of the artist and it's his own playing and he's only playing small sections to demonstrate technique he gets copyright strike.
His best one was getting a copyright strike for a piece of music he wrote that someone stole from him, added singing and released it on YouTube. His original video then got flagged as ripping off the people who stole his music.

I assume the people who stole it somehow registered the music as theirs? Couldn't he have done that initially, to protect himself?

Does it go into how he ended up getting the short end, even though he posted first?
