Taiwanese folk metal artist NiNi got a fake copyright claim on her viral hit cover of Zombie, in a successful attempt to steal her revenue from YT and Facebook.
She's currently trying reach YT and Facebook to gain access to her revenue.
This is another example of how automated copyright claim systems are not fit for purpose and should never have been required under EU law.

They STOLE My Song and Thought I Wouldn't Notice...
I still can't believe this sort of stuff happens and there is very little small independent artists can do about it. Stay safe out on the internet everyone!♬...YouTube
"In newly unredacted documents filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California late Wednesday, plaintiffs in Kadrey v. Meta, who include bestselling authors Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, recount Meta’s testimony from late last year, during which it was revealed that Zuckerberg approved Meta’s use of a dataset called LibGen for Llama-related training.
LibGen, which describes itself as a “links aggregator,” provides access to copyrighted works from publishers including Cengage Learning, Macmillan Learning, McGraw Hill, and Pearson Education. LibGen has been sued a number of times, ordered to shut down, and fined tens of millions of dollars for copyright infringement.
According to Meta’s testimony, as relayed by plaintiffs’ counsel, Zuckerberg cleared the use of LibGen to train at least one of Meta’s Llama models despite concerns within Meta’s AI exec team and others at the company. The filing quotes Meta employees as referring to LibGen as a “data set we know to be pirated,” and flagging that its use “may undermine [Meta’s] negotiating position with regulators.”"

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.Intellectual Property Office (GOV.UK)
"The Electronic Frontier Foundation works to defend your right to own what you buy. Your right of first sale should apply to digital works, and it’s unfair to buy something when the terms say you don’t really own it. We fight in Congress to stop laws that would take your digital rights away, and in court to ensure that copyright holders can’t re-write the law to undermine user rights and the public interest. We've won many protections for physical media, worked to expand your right to make fair uses of physical and digital content, and even protected your ability to make podcasts. Now we need your help to change the law to give you the same rights online that you have offline. It’s happened in other countries, and it can happen here, too."
Things don't "fall into the public domain" at the end of their copyright term, Ugh.
Once released from copyright, works Ascend into the glorious ranks of the public domain, fulfilling their rightful destiny as part of the cultural heritage of humanity!

AI isn’t about unleashing our imaginations, it’s about outsourcing them. The real purpose is profit
Artificial intelligence doesn’t just incrementally erode the rights of authors and other creators. These technologies are designed to replace creative workers altogetherJames Bradley (The Guardian)
