They are our digital distribution service. If you're trying to upload your own music and receive copyright claims, just ignore them.

And please do not e-mail Kontor New Media. They will only forward you to us.

I'm not okay with this. It happened to may and sure, I could chose to ignore it, but that means I have to live with adverts being shown overlaying my videos - Not only don't I want the adverts to be shown - the money earned for the adverts go to Kontor New Media.

Will I need to take my albums down and close my Ubetoo-account for this to happen?

I'm starting to get unimpressed by Ubetoo for a number of reasons (treat it as feedback and suggestions to fix):
1. The Kontor New Media issue with youtube
2. Publishing times to Spotify (my release from December 2012 is still not up and a friend of mine went though RouteNote and got it there in a matter of a couple of weeks - still slow for a digital world, but much better than 2 months and counting.
3. Statistics from distribution is very unclear - I have no idea what comes from Spotify for example
4. Payouts - you have to manually request a payout to Paypal every month - otherwise Ubetoo keeps the money if you don't. Can't you just automate the payouts?

1. I understand your concerns and we've had a lot of problems regarding this. You know that we are distributing to YouTube but now we can choose for each individual track that is getting distributed if we want to allow other users to be able to upload replicas of the same track. But we need to know from you guys how you want it or if you want distribute to YouTube at all.

2. Regarding the release of a bundle on Spotify there isn't much we can do. They have set that releasing a bundle on Spotify will take up to a maximum of 30 days and that's their guidelines.

3. I know the statistics can be kind of unclear and especially for Spotify. That's because they're showing the amount of plays under the name of "Merlin" which is their owner. But we're working on showing those facts as clearly and understandable as possible.

4. That's a good point and may be a better way to solve the payment-issue in the future.
