An individual named "Ranaso" has unlawfully used my original music, presenting it as his own work. Special thanks to "Deejay" from India for informing me about this via my guestbook. Furthermore, Ranaso is actively targeting other creators on YouTube by filing copyright claims against videos that legitimately use my royalty-free tracks.
His release (08 April 2025): Ranaso –
Feel the Sound of Africa (Soundtrack 1) (Spotify)
My original (03 September 2024): Lion Queen Soundtrack – Intro
His release (24 January 2025): Ranaso
– AH (Official Music Video) (Spotify)
My original (21 November 2024): Stalker
Heart of Chornobyl – Atmosphere 200
.... and more!
This behavior is not only unethical but directly harms creators who use my work in good faith. I have now contacted YouTube, Spotify, and Apple regarding three confirmed cases of copyright infringement. I sincerely hope that his YouTube channel will be removed and that there will be consequences for his actions. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of his content is stolen as well.
I intentionally do not register my music in YouTube's Content ID system or similar services, so that everyone can freely use it without restriction. Actions like these create unnecessary work and stress for me and others, driven purely by selfishness and a lack of respect for the creative community.
Shame on you, Ranaso.
