We’re suing Materia Music.
After years of issues with these guys, I’ve filed a lawsuit. I didn’t want to, but they forced my hand.
This is incredibly serious and should concern anyone who enjoys video game music or creates fan content.

@awwright@EricParker@TeamYouTube our discussions have been hostile, with no sign of a compromise. I tried. we filed a lawsuit to try to protect the channel on the 18th, they filed on the 28th.
my understanding is youtube should keep the channel up and the videos down, but seems like they took down everything.
@EricParker@TeamYouTube they did. despite a number of errors that we believe would make it invalid for a DMCA notice, YouTube likely just saw a document and hit delete on my channel
@RickyWinsKO they're all still my productions. but really, i dont want to deprive my kids of these songs. between you and me, one of the main reasons i started this was to keep my kids off deliberately addictive kids content like cocomelon. ironic how it turned out
@jdspearsmusic@MasonLieberman My background is mixing, mastering and engineering, not recording. This was actually the only way (in my current life) to show my son MY process.
But after all this, I’m going to teach myself how to record.
I have a personal project called Snuggle Bunch. I write songs with my kids, use Suno for vocals/stems and ChatGPT for images.
It has nothing to do with the label or video game music.
No one on GameChops, staff or artist, had anything to do with Snuggle Bunch. It’s all me.
@MasonLieberman Great messages Mason. It’s a combination of me just having fun and running with it, and deliberately trying to create something to keep my kids away from the truly predatory addictive children’s content out there.
It’s honestly thought that this was better than Cocomelon
@RickyWinsKO Hey Ricky, I want to make this a real band one day. I have demos for virtually every song already recorded (the referenced I used for Suno) so the foundation is there.
The only place that gets any streams at all is Spotify and the AI Persona/Meta should shut that door entirely
@CanvasPirate The demonetizing was no issue. The project was never intended to make money anyway.
The shelving has to happen, at least now, so I can focus on the bigger picture.
