Dear Psytrance Family,
Over the years, we’ve shared unforgettable experiences through the powerful energy of Hi-Tech and Psytrance music. Our community thrives on collaboration, creativity, and mutual respect for one another. Today, I want to address an issue that’s recently come to light, as transparency is essential in maintaining trust and integrity within our scene.
What Happened?
Recently, a copyright claim surfaced involving one of my tracks, Clockwork Orange. To my surprise, the claim was issued from an unauthorized email address claiming to represent me. Let me be crystal clear: neither I nor my team initiated this claim. The email used, davidsimon666666@gmail.com, is not affiliated with me, my projects, or my management.
Unfortunately, such incidents can occur in the digital space, where bad actors exploit systems for personal gain or other reasons. I want to reassure everyone that I’m taking this matter very seriously and working to resolve it with YouTube to ensure my name and reputation remain intact.
The Channel Affected by the unauthorized strike: https://www.youtube.com/c/hitechtrance
Misinformation and Clarifications
There have also been rumors suggesting that I abuse copyright systems or target creators unjustly. Let me categorically state: this is false.
- I deeply respect intellectual property rights, not only for my work but for every artist who contributes to this vibrant scene.
- I encourage collaboration and have always sought to lift the Hi-Tech and Psytrance community as a collective.
If anyone has doubts or concerns regarding claims associated with my music, I encourage you to reach out directly to me. I am always open to clarifying matters and ensuring a fair resolution.
Steps I’m Taking
- Investigating Unauthorized Claims: I’ve contacted YouTube to flag the misuse of my name and address the unauthorized strike.
- Community Communication: I am sharing this openly so that everyone is aware of the situation. Transparency is key to preventing similar incidents in the future.
- Protecting Our Scene: Beyond my case, I aim to contribute to a culture of fairness and mutual respect in the Hi-Tech and Psytrance community.
Why This Matters
Our community is built on trust and shared experiences. We are more than just artists and fans; we’re a family united by our love for transcendent sounds and unforgettable dancefloor moments. Protecting that trust is essential.
Moving Forward Together
To those who have supported me through this: thank you. Your messages and encouragement mean the world to me. Let’s use this moment to remind ourselves of the values that make our scene so unique—creativity, respect, and unity.
If you have any questions or want to discuss this further, feel free to reach out via my official channels. I’m here to listen, clarify, and ensure we keep this beautiful culture thriving.
Stay powerful, stay connected, and keep dancing to the infinite beat of the universe.
With love and respect,
Samuel Zimmermann (aka Parandroid)
