Hm. Makes me wonder if they have spies? Or they were able to see a link?

Or it could be a false positive but I seem to remember a hula hoop girl who up until recently had a career in adult films that may have triggered their alarm.

Although I recently received a message from youtube (I also get some minor adsense dollars but I've yet to see a penny) that one of my youtube videos was being taken down because of the fact that it infringed on the copyright of a french
disco artist and a record label was going to make sure my video was taken down and so youtube did.

I took a look at the song in question and there was no resemblence whatsoever. It wasn't in the same key, the rhythms were different (this was one of those club anthems that's like bass drum and r2d2 blips ala dubstep with smooth synths).

My video was me playing live solo ambient guitar improvising a piece based on a theme I myself wrote with no drums at all just a rhythm that was totally different.

I contested the assertion, it was obvious google has some kind of robot that tries to compare waveforms, it's not
a person listening to the music and the record company involved just went along with it because, well, google couldn't
be wrong could it?

So I wonder if it was based on reality or was a false positive?

Flamencology posted a thread with the brand name of a marital aid in the thread title about a year ago. They probably spider the sites that publish their ads to police compliance with the TOS of the program and that brand name popped out.

While I totally appreciate the irony of your post, especially with regard to the China crackdown and whatnot, for the sake of advertising, I can see where compaines would have to watch websites pretty closely so as not to directly support activity that they'll have to explain later. It sucks, but I get it.

Well they have given themselves such a huge and wide sweeping umbrella of "offensive material" that they can basically deem anything as objectionable.
 
.....this is why we have a donation thread over on the homebrewing forum I frequent. We are a salty punch of bricks that adsense would never fly with.

If you want to curse like a sailor, better get your wallets out.

When we had a donate button here on the forum it was never used after the first few days.

an interesting development on TGP that is kind of related: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1170520

There is a thread that informed us that people are being blocked from accessing TGP from work due to a company that monitors website access for businesses listing TGP as a "sex" website. I am linking to that thread so that readers will understand what happened:


http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1170199


After spending much of the day trying to get the listing reviewed, I was finally successful in having them change the TGP description from sex site to discussion site. However, I was told that the links in many of the bikini thread posts were to sites that are listed as porn sites, even if the actual photos on TGP were not "porn". If we continue to allow bikini threads or similar, this company's software will again place TGP on the banned list and I was told that it could happen with other companies that provide similar "safe site" services to businesses.


I hate having to add something else to our banned topics list, but my job with TGP is to do my best to keep it running smoothly for members. Given the choice between many members not being able to access TGP from work (I am one of them!) or not allowing bikini threads, the choice is simple. Sorry that we had to make this decision, but at least you know why.


BTW, the only thing we know that I can tell those of you who are unable to access TGP from work is that the company that put us on the banned list will update when they send their next business alert out. I have no idea when that will be.
