I upload a lot of obscure independent music from Japan, as well as some from North America. Sometimes I will upload something from a major label/artist.
Advertisements may be running on the videos, due to one of two reasons:
1. The artist or label has copyright claimed the video. This may also apply if a sample or melody is used in a song, or if the song is a cover version.
2. YouTube sometimes runs advertisements on videos that are eligible for monetization (e.g. videos without copyright claims). To be clear, my account is not registered for YouTube's monetization program (YPP), and I do not plan on registering my account for the program in the future.
If you are the artist of a work that has been uploaded here, you are their legal representative, or you represent the record label which owns the copyright of the recordings, and you would like for me to remove my uploaded copies of these works, please get in touch via the email and I will happily comply with your request.
