Copyright Cleared

Hurrah! After weeks of back and forth, I’m very happy to say that all the copyright claims on my channel have now been removed.

If you read my last post on this (titled Copyright & Copywrong), you’ll know this has been hanging over things for a while. At one point, I had 26 active claims across my videos—even though everything I use is properly licensed, with extra care taken on music, visuals, and tools, especially in the AI space.

These weren’t malicious claims. Just a result of how platforms sometimes handle new content and smaller channels. But they were quietly choking visibility—and honestly, they took the wind out of my sails a bit.

So it’s a big relief to finally have it resolved. No more question marks. No more restrictions. I can now move forward knowing the path is clearer.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been working steadily—new playlists, fresh video ideas, and a few creative twists still under wraps. With this out of the way, I can focus fully on building rather than firefighting.

Thanks to everyone who’s stuck around, sent a kind word, or simply watched something I made. Also, a special thank-you as well for those who have donated (you know who you are). Onwards and upwards now—with both eyes open.

Oh—and don’t forget to keep an eye on The Waterlane Podcast to hear what else I’ve been up to. I hope you enjoyed Claire’s interview in last week’s episode. Please do reach out and let me know what you think—I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

More soon,
Dave
