RKI's Very First Copyright Troll!

So, as promised, I uploaded a second episode of Nightfall. THIS one was flagged too. However, what was flagged was the Nightfall theme at the beginning. It matched another video because this entity is claiming ANOTHER episode of Nightfall (Without branding it AS Nightfall) and naturally, the theme song matched. Now, the previous episode, I did not dispute because it was radio music that exists is a muddy grey area, but this? Nightfall is a public Domain Radio Program.

This entity is [Merlin] IDLA Distribution which... interestingly enough, you can find are known Copyright Tolls, having claimed NASA recorded audio as their own in the past.

I've disputed the claim, but I imagine this will not be the end as Youtube STILL leaves the power in the hand of the claimants, with NO consequences for this nonsense. #WTFU indeed. Come on Youtube, it's time to stop this crap.

Of course, it's ridiculous to copyright troll me as I have few views or subscribers, but still, they cannot have my pennies!
