Dan Bull - f** Content ID (YouTube Diss Rap) lyrics

[Intro] Shoutout to YouTube's official recommended copyright-free Audio Library for this amazing instrumental One of over seven hip-hop instrumentals in the Audio Library [Verse 1] Dear YouTube, this here's to you To tell you that your new rules are poo-poo I don't know who does your business stuff lately But it's an understatement that they've pissed us off greatly Redirecting funds from the kids who have made you And giving them straight to the pricks in the grey suits That couldn't give a f** for the YouTube community For a quick buck, there's nothing that they wouldn't do to me NerdCubed got struck for publishing a photo That contained nothing but his own f**ing logo My mate Gavin got caught making wealth For using music that he stole from himself Boogie hates it too, though he may not be connected But when the walls fall down, he'll be affected With none of us protected, we're on some Wild West sh** But with an automated sheriff, no-one gets arrested (EGHH!) INFRINGING CONTENT DETECTED! I suggest you don't even bother to contest it [Hook] This is the winter of our discontent Where Google gives consent For you to nick content From YouTubers too puny to put up a defence They're glued; stuck in cement It's too tough to prevent This is the winter of our discontent Copyright trolls roll up and we are stiffed on rent This is the winter of our discontent Ideally you'd give back every stolen cent [Verse 2] It's like a labyrinth of licenses and lies insisting I have nicked sh** but I'll fight life and limb to lift it I know I might have the littlest voice But I will always call bullsh** if given the choice We can only make change with enough noise So let me demonstrate how simple the system is to exploit (One) First find a YouTuber who you want to screw up (Two) Pick a new video they've done or one that blew up (Three) Submit a copy to the CMS stash, click You'll earn cash quick the minute that it matches The paper's taken from the creator that made it straight away Without the need to even briefly speak to people face to face You can just take them on a Kafkaesque paper chase Because there's no accountability within the database So if they're making complaints, you can ignore these And keep on earning from their work for up to four weeks When the four weeks is up, you just release the claim Keep the change and start the whole thieving scheme again It's easy taking candy from a baby, piece of cake Google don't give a f**, they get their profit either way [Hook] [Verse 3] Somehow you managed to put out a statement That brushed aside every single last complaint, look: You didn't mention your system dismisses fair use Or how we can reclaim our redirected revenues That guilty until proven innocent is an affront And that to prove your innocence can take several months (c*nts) Nah, you just published a puff piece If I'd point out animal abuse, you'd say “Look at these puppies :)” Game publishers have explicitly stated They don't want to claim on any Let's Plays created They're actually pissed off about the changes Just as much as we are, you don't have to go to Cambridge University to see it's proven universally Your circuitry needs urgent work to cease us losing permanently It's news worthy of a parody, Ron Burgundy We're swirling in a purgatory that's worthy of East Germany The Berlin Wall is like the strikes we're receiving Now where's David Ha**elhoff when you need him? This wall is obviously going to fall before we stop So you might as well call it off, Mister Gobrachev I used to love YouTube and what it stood for But good Lord, now the scrap heap is all it's good for [Hook] [Outro] Independent YouTubers made YouTube Then YouTube got huge and shafted them up the arse On behalf of the traditional dinosaur entertainment industry Keeping us locked in the 20th century since the 20th century Thanks, so much… Bellends
