Hi Eddie!

First of all thanks for your empathy. I appreciate that a lot. You are right about my position as a music teacher. It has not much to do with earning money or becoming famous haha.

The copyright claim was not literally about band in a box but was definitely about the backing track for sure. The misunderstanding here on the forum was caused probably by a language difference. I am not a native english speaker.

What I did not mention was that in the claim I could see which part of the movie was the claim about.

In the claim you see a start and end time. That was exact the time frame where my melody was absent. The end of the movie plays just the Band in a Box track and not my melody.

I should have been more clear about that... but I was already so confused by the claim in the first place that I wrote that opening post with some kind of nervous and slightly worried emotion.

I am glad the claim is lifted and I am also very pleased with your recognition that the claim was absurd in the first place. Thanks!

Also important to mention again that also the creator of that other song found it unbelievable. He was also very surprised and wrote me that his and my song had really nothing in common.

It is the auto detection that fails. Those copyright companies have a lot of power... but the fact they lifted the claim gives me some faith again.
