Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get

Samsung's catchy end-of-cycle jingle gets caught up in YouTube copyright drama.

can , 1 month ago

Apparently, YouTube had automatically scanned Albino's video and detected the washing machine chime as a song called "Done"—which Albino quickly saw was uploaded to YouTube by a musician known as Audego nine years ago.

But when Albino hit play on Audego's song, the only thing that he heard was a 30-second clip of the washing machine chime. To Albino it was obvious that Audego didn't have any rights to the jingle, which Dexerto reported actually comes from the song "Die Forelle" ("The Trout") from Austrian composer Franz Schubert.

The song was composed in 1817 and is in the public domain

Yep, very broken. Can't the EU intervene or something?
